LAMBETH.

John Cambell, a mechanic, appeared before Mr.
Norton, to answer a charge of assault preferred against
him by Mr. Charles James, cheesemonger, Lambeth-
marsh.

Mr. James stated that, since the Chartist meeting
on Kennington-common, on Monday week, he had
been subjected to the greatest possible annoyance ;
and such was the length and excess to which that
annoyance had been carried, that he was compelled,
in justice to himself and to his family, to seek for the
protection of the law, and adopt the present proceed-
ings. Previous to the meeting to which he had
alluded he felt it to be his duty, in common with
his fellow-tradesmen throughout the metropolis, and
with the view of assisting in the preservation of the
peace and the protection of property, to get sworn in
as a special constable at this court ; and for this, and
this alone, he had been since subjected to the most
incredible persecution. On the evening after the
meeting, two individuals attended close to the factory
of Messrs. Maudslay and Co., when the workmen were
leaving the factory of those gentlemen, and having
denounced him (Mr. James) by name as a special con-
stable, cautioned the assemblage from dealing at his
shop. This denunciation was followed up with a report,
that while acting as a special constable he had killed a
child, broken the arm of a boy, and so ill-treated a
poor old woman, that he had been convicted in a penalty
of 5/. at this court. Indeed, so far was the feeling
carried, that songs were -written and sung about the
streets, alluding to him in the most scandalous and
libellous manner, though he was perfectly unconscious
of having given the slightest cause for such a feeling,
beyond the fact of his having been sworn in a special
constable. There was another calumny which he
wished to remove, and that was a charge made against
him of getting intoxicated on the evening and night
of the meeting. The charge was grossly false, and
on his solemn oath he pronounced it to be so. And
while on this subject, he felt bound to declare, also
upon oath, that in so far as he was able to judge and
discern, there was not a single individual of his
brother tradesmen in the neighbourhood, who like
himself were serving as constables, in the slightest
degree the worse for liquor. He (Mr. James) would
now come to Sunday morning last, and the charge
which he had to make against the defendant. At
about half past ten or a quarter to eleven o'clock the
defendant, with five or six other men, came up
to the front of his shop, and made a full- stop.
One of them, addressing a female who was pur-
chasing a piece of pork, said, " Come away
from that special's shop ; don't buy anything there."
He (Mr. James) requested the man to go about his
business, when the defendant seized him by the breast,
shook him, and put his fist in his face. He threatened
to put the defendant under lock and key, and was so
alarmed at the conduct of himself and his compa-
nions, and the crowd outside, that he left the shop
and retired to the back part of the premises.
The defendant denied committing the assault.
Mr. NORTON said for the offence, of which he had
clearly been convicted, he would adjudge him to pay
a sum of 201., or in default to two months' imprison-
ment. Ultimately the Magistrate said he would re-
duce the penalty to one of common assault, which
was 51., or two months. _ _

THAMES.
An elderly man, who gave his name George Glad-
well, was charged with committing several robberies
under the following circumstances :
The prisoner, who is an old thief, and was convicted
a few months since for stealing the bed-clothes from
a tavern where he passed the night, resumed his old
practices on leaving prison, and has been going
from house to house, engaging a bed for one
night, and next morning carrying away the sheets
and blankets. On Wednesday night the prisoner
hired a bed for 6d., at a beer-shop, in Benson-
street, Limehouse. Yesterday morning he was about
to leave the house, when the landlord, observing that
he looked rather bulky, stopped him, and upon
searching him, found two calico sheets wrapped about
his body under his clothes. He was immediately
given into the custody of Huckstep, a police-constable,
293 K, who immediately recognised him as an old
offender, and a man of whom he had been in search
for some time.

The second charge was preferred by Mrs. Allum,
the landlady of the " Bonnie Scotchman," in the
West India-road, Poplar, who said the prisoner hired
a bed in her house a fortnight ago. On the following
morning, a few minutes :after he had left the house,
she missed a sheet from the bed he had slept in, and
pn pt .r from a !,erl in thc A .o.lB—r ,1100
missed at the same time a table-cloth, a handker-
chief and several other articles.
