BELOW TO GRANT LICENSES.
The Cotirt'.sat yesterday m::reing it the usual hour, for
the purpose of hearing the appeals against the decisions of
the magistrates at the Petty Sessions. The bench pre-
sented a very. large attendance of the justices of Middle-
s sex; in fact, much more numerous than on any previous
occasion for some years back.

London and South-Western Railway Company were
about to construct an extensive terminus on the Surrey
side of Waterloo-hridge, and it was urged that there
would be a great increase in the demand of the public
for hotel and tavern 'accommodation, and that being so,
the appellant submitted that the situation of this house
was well adapted for this purpose. The neighbourhood
would also be improved under these circumstances, and
consequently would require more accommodation than
whit it now possessed.
The opp-osition was on the part of the Marquis of
Exeter, the landlord in fee of the premises, because his
Lordship had many other tenants in the neighbourhood,
many of whom carry on the business of licensed victual-
lers; and ho considered that their interests would he

was' not the least want of any additional accommodation
either at the present time, nor was there likely to be
after the railway terminus was constructed.
The Court divided, when there appeared fur the li-
cense six votes, and against six.
The Assistant Judge gave his casting vote in favour of
the license, and the license was at once granted.
GEORGE MASSON V. THE JUSTICES OF THE HOLBORN
13IVISIoN •
The appellant sought to obtain a license to the Fea-
therS, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields.
Mr. Ballanine appeared for the appellant, and Mr.
Bodkin for the respondent.
Inspector Ford, of the F division of police, was called
to prove the character of the house. He said it had a
room fitted up like the pit of a theatre, where concerts
took place. which were kept up till morning. Objections
of a serious character were also urged.
Mr. BALLANTINE threw up his brief, and the Court
refused the license.'

diebvision. It was to the Holborn division that Mary-
one had recourse I:r all petty sessional' business, arid
as he always attended the Holborn petty sessional busi-
ness, he conceived he had a perfect right to attend
, the Marylebone special sessions for licensing. The
! Act constituting Marylebone a diuisitin did not contain
:anything to preclude the magistrates of one division
—icing in the other; and so loug as he remained in the
commission he should insist on his right to attend the
Harylebone licenSinz sessions. ' *.
Mr. LAURIE would maintain his opinion that a magis-
trate of one division ought not to interfere in another.
Mr. RosE"'expressed his determination to act a, he

rule of this Court, when the votes were equal uti a, ap-
peal, that the case should stand adjourned tor a second

JANES IRELAND v. THE JUSTICES OF THE DIVISION OF
• TH) PARISH OF' ST. MARTIN- IN-THE-FIELDS

The honse for Which 014 appellant sought a wine
and spirit license was 11, Northumberland-street, Strand.
Mr. liallantine supported, and Mr. Bodkin appeared
for the Justices.

The grounds on which the application was res.ed
appeared to'be the want of sufficient accommodation for
clerks, and'others of a respectable class, of whom there
were a great" number in the immediate vicinity, and who
could not obtain accommodation suitable to their ineu,:s
in the hotels of the neighbourhood.
The license was opposed, on the ground that there
was no 'want.of aiccommodation in that locality.
The Bench divided, when there appeared for the
license 15 ioteiiigainst it, 13.

JAMES SAUNDERS V. THE JUSTICES OF THE FINSBURY

DIVISION;

The 4ppellant in this ease sought to obtain a license
to premises situated at the corner of Norman's-build-
ings and Wenlock-street, St. Luke's.
It appeared that this hou-e had been prviously
icensed, but through some neglect on the part of the
previous proprietor the license was withdrawn. The
present occupier now sought a license, and it was
eqntended that he ought not to suffer for the neglect of
ith ers.

•It waft opposed, on the ground thst public-house ae-
c,,mmodation was not wanting in the neighbourhood.—
Liconse refused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMLVSTEIe.

John- Vickers, a middle-aged, respectable-lonking twin.
carrying on business as st dairy man in the liorseterry -
toad, Westminster, was finally exan,ined, charged whit
iielating the person of Eleanor Lovel, his niece, 20 years
'age, who gave her evidence with apparent timidity aid
reructance.

Evidence having been given, Mr. Parry addressed the
magistrate on behalf of the prisoner, and submitted that
the case was not sufficient to send before a jury.
. .

Mr. BURRELL committed the prisoner fjrtiial at the
Central Criminal Court, and refused to take bail in con-
sequence of the serious nature of the charge.

WORSiiIP-STREET.

- Marianne Willoughby (Morn, a person of very supe-
rior address and deportment, but who was wretchedly.
.diyl, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged
with having obtained, by fraudulent representations, a
gold watch and appendages, of the value of 251., from
81r, Henry 'Eisenberg, a jeweller its White's-row, Spi-
taltields, and also with stealing tour duplicates, the pro
perty* of a person named Cheeseman, in whose house
Aie,had occupied apartments.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Heritage, who
attended for, the prosecution, and the evidence of the
~oinplainant, that about the latter part of February the
iris, ner was introduced to Mr. Eisenberg by a Mr.
1.4-vett,'vitith whom he had had some previous dealiegs,
who represented her as the sister of Lord Spencer and
!he daughter of another distinguished nobleman,
And intimated,, that although she was then involved
.in some iwcuniary embarntssment arising out of pe-
eiliar causes, which, he was not at liberty to evplain,
he had ascertained from personal inquiries, and the
examination., of her private documents, that she was"
crititled.to a fortune amounting to no less than 120,000/,
vhich was to come
_into her possession in the eourse-
la few days. The person in question then went on to

~0 be, that as the lady was totally without jewellery:
and as it was necessary for her to assume an appearance

Anxious to be furnished with a gold watch and append-
ages, and was ready to give him a.- note of hand for the
amount, at 15 days' date, which he (Levett) was also pre-
pared to endorse, as a further security. . After some
urther eonversatinn, in the course of which the prisoner
fully confirmed the above statement, as to her lofty pre-
tensions, the prosecutor was induced to supply her with-
