LONDON, FRIDAY' EVENING, JANTTA.KY g, 1446.

Ball, Great Berkhamstead, in the said county, Esq., in
the room of the Hon. James Walter Grimston, com-
monly called Viscount Grimston, now Earl of Verulani
called up to the House of Peers.

bad they any legal claim for relief; but all they wanted
was temporary ss:sitanee, and had this been given to
them they should not have proceeded to the slightest
violence.

Mr. NORTON tcild thew, that if they were really dis-
tressed and in a destitute state, as they represented, and
relief had been refused to them at the workhouse, their
proper course would have been to apply to this Court,
and not take the law into their own hands. He then con-
victed them in the penalty of 65., the value of the glass,
or in default of payment, to three days' imprisonment
each.

Richard Holden, a shopman to an oil and colourman
in Piccadilly, was brought before the magistrate by one
of the relieving-officers of the parish of Lambeth, for
neglecting to support his wife, in consequence of which
she became chargeable to the parish.
The wife, a well-dressed woman, said that she and her
husband h-d lived on the most affectionate terms, until
they unfortunately took in a female lodger, and soon
after she discovered the most positive proof that her
husband had formed an improper intimacy with her.
She, of course, insisted that the female should at once
leave the house, and her husband, instead of breaking
off the intimacy, took a lodging for her, and lived with
her as her husband.

The defendant said, that so violent was the temper of
his wife, that he could not continue to live with her, but
should allow 20s. a week to the support of herself and
three children.

Mr. NORTON endeavoured to get them to make up
matters, and live together again, but the husband re-
fused to do so, and the wife accepted his offer of 20s.
a week.

SOUTHWARK.
Thomas Emmell, a broker's man, was charged with
stealing part of a bankrupt's stock, while employed in
making out the goods in lots ready for sale.
It appeared that a tradesman, named Davis, a harness-
maker, in High-street, Southwark, had recently failed in
business, the consequence of which was that he became a
bankrupt, and his stuck la trade was put up for auction.
The prisoner was employed on the premises in placing
the different lots ready for sale, and a few days ago he
was observed to leave the bankrupt's house, and to pro-
ceed to a marine-store shop in Union-street. Here he
produced a capacious blue bag on the counter, containing
a great number of brass articles used in the harness trade,
and wanted to dispose of them for a sum infinitely below
their value. A policeman, who had narrowly watched
the prisoner from the bankrupt's house to the marine-
store shop, entered the latter place at the moment he was
about to conclude a bargain. The prisoner, when ques-
tioned, equivocated a good deal, but at length acknow-
ledged that he had brought the articles from No. 100,
High-street, and that they had been given to him by
Mr. Mithell, an officer of the Bankruptcy Court, who had
charge of the stock on the premises. The answer, how-
ever, not satisfying the policeman, upon subsequent
inquiries being made on the subject, it was discovered
that the articles had been taken from the bankrupt's
stock by the prisoner, without the sanction or permission
of the individual in charge of the goods, and that he
availed himself of the circumstance of his being em-
ployed there to plunder the different articles from the
stock.

The MAGISTRATE said that persons in the prisoner's
situation had great facilities of plundering from a bank-
rupt's stock, and that the charge being one of an aggra-
vated nature, he should send it before a jury.
The prisoner was, therefore, committed.
William Minchiner, a master butcher, was charged
with furiously driving, and breaking the leg of a youth
named Smith, who had been confined in the hospital
since the accident.

It appeared that the complainant was driving a waggon
along High-street, and when near the corner of Thomas-
street, the prisoner drove his cart from the opposite side
of the road, and one of the shafts striking the boy on the
shoulder knocked him down, and one of the wheels
passing over his leg broke it about the centre. The lad
was taken up in an insensible state, and conveyed to St.
Thomas's Hospital, where he has been confined ever
since the accident.

Evidence having been adduced that the accident was
attributable to the reekless manner in which he was
driving at the time,
The MAGISTRATE inflicted a fine of 40s. on the defend-
ant, besides adjudging him to pay 101. as damages, which
sum when paid was directed to be handed over to the lad
who sustained the injury.
HAMMERSMITH.
Two lads named Wm. Hawkins ar►d Jacob Silk, were
charged with stealing iron from the works of the West
London Railway.
Policeman Ayres, T 215, deposed that about half past
five o'clock on the previous afternoon, whilst on duty in
the Uxbridge-road, he stopped the two prisoners, who
were in company together, near the West London Rail-
way-bridge, at Shepherd's Bush. The prisoner Hawkins,
was at the time carrying a sack. Witness looked into it
and found two pieces of iron now produced. He then
asked the prisoners where they had got the iron from ;
when they both said, pointing towards the railway, " We
got them from near to the road leading to Kensal-green."
Witness then took them to the station-house.
William Wilson, of No. 2, Pickering-place, Queen's-
row, Bayswater, deposed that he was foreman over the
labourers on the West London Railway. The two pieces
of iron, called connecting•chains, or switches, now: pro-
duced by the police, were the property of the London
and Birmingham Railway Company. The prisoners were
fully committed for trial.

THAMES.
Robett Clark, a seaman, was charged with damaging
a cab.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was
paid off on Wednesday. He engaged a cab, and sallied
out on a cruise. He was unable to steer, and having
neither box nor compass, soon capsized the vehicle. He
got off the box, lifted up the cab, and, having taken in
an extra passenger, made all the sail he was able for the
Commercial-road. On arriving at the Cannon-street
gate toll was demanded, but Jack said he paid no further
dues, and drove on. He had not gone far before he ran
foul of a coffee stall, and made a wreck of it. Having
satisfied the owner, he again made all the sail he was
able, and was followed by a motley group, who cheered
him on. After some further proceedings,
Mr. BALLANTINE said, the loss sustained by the cab-
man is of some consequence to him, and you must pay
for the damage. _ _ _

The cabman estimated the expense of repairing the
injury at 50s.
.. .

BALIANTINE said, unless the prisoner paid a fine
of 505., he must go to gaol for 21 days.
