FLOOD IN THE T WEED.
The present has been a remarkable year for floods in
the Tweed and Teviot. On the 30th of July last, the
Tweed, after its junction with the Teviot, was higher
than it had been for fifteen years, having reached to
within five feet of the celebrated flood of 1831 ; but the

30th; the Tweed on this occasion was much aeached to within eighteen inches of the
larger than on tire former, but the Teviot was con-
siderably less. On both occasions much damage was
done, large quantities of hay ricks, timber, carts, and
even sheep have been cried down tho stream.
We have now to notice a third flood, greater than either
of the preceding ones, which took place yesterday
(Tuesday). Previous to Sunday last there had been a
good deal of rain in this quarter, but the greater part of
the latter day

sionS und
aynight, however, it commenced to rain heavily, and con-
tinued
until last night. The streams in the
a t t
anyo
time so,
vicinity began, during the time, to show the usual effects,
becoming discoloured, and swelling rapidly ; and be-
tween eight and n
nine o'clock last night, the
Tweed, previous to its junction with the Teviot,
was nine inches higher than in 1831) and much
higher than in either of the cases above alluded
to ; and even at Mayfield, below Kelso Bridge
(although the Teviot was not beyond the size of an ordi-
nary flood) it reached to within three feet of the highest
mark of 1831. As may be supposed, a considerable
amount of havoc has been caused. Immense quantities
of timber, rural implements, railway sleepers, and other
articles, carried aNs ay from the lower-lying grounds,
came down the stream. Several fishing and ferry
boats also came down, and one of these, belonging
to the person who keeps the ferry at Kelso Ana,, was
dashed against the Pier-head, near Kelso mills,
and broken to pieces ; another, belonging to Captain
Fulton, of the Holmes, near St. Boswell's, was
recognised at dr.) Pier-head by his name being up-
on it, and attempted to be got out by the bystanders ;
but after two of three fruitless endeavours, it was
carried away by the strength of the current. The
terrace, known by the name of the Chalkheugh, which
is a great height above the bed of the Tweed, and
commands a fine view of its junction with the Tevoit,
guardedis by a stone wall, beneath which, terraced
in the cliff, are small gardens and shrubberies, so that
the wall is several feet backward from the stream, as
well as a great height above it ; nevertheless, last
night between nine and ten o'clock, this wall fell into the
green below. young man, son of Mr. John Murray,
clogger, who among others, was near it at the time,
fell with it; hut, though the height from the top of
the wall is thirteen or fourteen feet, we are glad to say
he sustained no further injury than a few slight bruises;
the houses on the terrace arc only a few feet backward
from this wall. The garden wall belonging to Mr.
Mein, cabinet-rmler, situated a little lower down the
stream, and at the foot of the terrace, fell bodily into
the water; there was then nothing left but the loose
soil of the garden for the current to act upon ; and it
was fortunate that the flood was then beginning to sub-
side, otherwise the dwelling house itself would have
been in imminent danger. The small river Eden, which
falls in the Tweed, between two and three miles below
;
this, was also in ;nigh flood the tool house, and other
dwellings at Ednam were inundated by the bursting of
a large drain, and the inmates were compelled to leave
them.—Kelso Aka.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
A gentleman who assumed the name of Henry Phillips
was brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with
having on the preceding night, at nine o'clock, taken
several ladies round the waist in Gracechurch-street.
A policeman stated that the gentleman, who was
accompanied by another, attracted the notice of people
in the streets by the familiar manner in which they
claimed acquaintance with several females, who seemed
not to relish the liberties they took,, and quickly passed
on. The witness requested both gentlemen, who were
evidently elevated with liquor, to go home, and one of
them wisely took the advice. The defendant, however,
not only refused to leave the spot, but to allow the ladies
to pass unmolested. He was, nevertheless, cautious
enough, when he saw that any female whom he "my
cleared" happened to be in the company of a gentleman,
to apologise for the mistake. As he seemed to be getting
more warm it was considered necessary to cool him in
the station-house, out of which place he was bailed at
nine o'clock in the morning, so that he was quite long
enough there to judge of its comforts.
The defendant said he was sure the policeman was in
error in saying that he put his hands upon any lady. It
was true his friend, in whose company he had been
dining out, wished to have a little conversation with the
other sex, but he interfered to prevent what he knew
was unbecoming steady men of business, and it was while
he was engaged in the duty of prevention, that the
policeman mistook him for the aggressor, and took him
into custody.
Alderman WlLSON—Policeman, why did you not se-
cure the friend of this gentleman ? The policeman—l
had enough to do to secure this gentleman, and to save
the ladies from his unwelcome embraces. Besides, as
the other at once desisted, I allowed him to go on with •
out any further delay, and the defendant might have
gone away too, but he would insist upon going up to
the women. When I told him that I must take him into
custody, he looked very big, and said he had been dining
with the Lord Mayor.—(Laughter.)
Alderman WILSON—Had you been dining with the
Lord Mayor? Defendant—Oh dear, no, Sir. I never
thought of such a thing. It is pretty well known that
if a man dined with the Lord Mayor, it would not be
easy to find him in the street at nine o'clock.—(A
laugh.) I was dining with my friend over in the Bo-
rough ; and the fact is we took a little too much.
Alderman WILSON—It seems that you drank more,
for you certainly behaved worse. You are fined twenty
shillings.
Defendant—Sir, I thank you very much, I shall pay
with pleasure indescribable.
Alderman WiLsoN—l would advise you, in your fu-
ture frolics, not to say you have been dining with the
Lord Mayor.
The defendant—Oh dear, certainly not. I might
have said that I dined as well as if I had dined with the
Lord Mayor, but I could not have meant that I had
been his Lordship's guest.
GUILDHALL.
CURIOUS MISTAKE IN IDENTITY.—A young lad,
named Edward Grapes, was charged before Alderman
Gibbs with having picked a lady's pocket, under the fol-
lowing extraordinary circumstances:—
Mrs. Matilda Everett Bell, of George-street, Hanover-
square, stated that on Friday last, about twelve o'clock,
she was in a pastrycook's shop in Newgate-street, when
she observed the prisoner, who was then dressed like a
gentleman's son, with another boy, regaling themselves
with pastry. On her leaving she felt herself hustled,
when she observed the boy run past her with her purse,
containing between 61. and 71., which he put in his pocket.
She called out, but a mob gathering round her enabled
the thief to escape.
Alderman Grrms—Do you swear distinctly that the
prisoner is the lad you mention as being in the shop,
and afterwards taking your purse? Complainant—That
is the boy, but differently dressed.
Mr. Atkinson, a solicitor, who attended for the pri-
soner, asked the witness if another party had not been
taken up that morning for the robbery? Complainant—
I believe so.
Mr. Atkinson—Then now look round the Court, and
see if you recognise him.
Mrs. Bell immediately did so, and suddenly ex-
claimed, pointing to a young lad, a well-known thief,
near her, " They are brothers ; this is the one who
robbed me."
On this exclamation being made, there was a general
clapping of hands from the prisoner's friends; upon which
Alderman GIBBS said, that if a similar exhibition took
place, he should clear the court.
Alderman GIBBS then asked Mrs. Bell if she still per-
sisted that the prisoner was the guilty party? She said
no; that it was the young man to whom she now pointed.
They were so much alike.
Alderman GIBBS admitted that they were very much
alike, and discharged the prisoner, at the same time
placing his brother, the young man pointed out, at the
bar; but as the lady had so distinctly sworn that the
first prisoner was the party who committed the robbery,
he was necessarily obliged to discharge him also.
Mrs. Bell said that she was not obtaining justice. She
only swore to the best of her belief; and if she had known
how the case would have been disposed of, she would not
have troubled herself by appearing.
Alderman GIBBS reminded her that she had sworn dis-
tinctly to the first prisoner, which was down in evidence,
and she could hear it read if she liked.
Complainant, however, left the Court rather indignant
at the way in which the affair had turned.
WESTMINSTER.
GROSS OUTRAGE.--Jos. Cooper, and William Osborne,
two young men, were charged with the following out-
rage :
Mrs. Sarah Pincher, of No. 5, Cottage-place, Chelsea,
stated that she was proceeding from Chelsea to Earl's-
court, Brompton, about nine o'clock on the previous
evening, and when near Cromwell-lane, defendant Cooper
came up and took hold of her in a very improper man-
ner. He then tare her bonnet off and knocked her down
with such violence that she was stunned. Her husband,
who was only a few yards behind her at the time, came
to her assistance, when defendant attacked him, and
Osborne struck her.
Joseph Pincher, her husband, said that he was walk-
ing a few paces behind his wife when the two defend-
ants, another man, and a boy suddenly stopped him near
Cromwell-lane, and Osborne asked him to give him a
shilling. Witness refused, when Osborne placed himself
before him on the footpath, in a menacing attitude, and
declared that be would have half-a-crown. As witness
thought that Osborne was about to knock him down, he
immediately struck him in his own defence, when he was
attacked by the whole party. On a sudden he found
Cooper beating his wife, and saw him knock her down,
and kick her whilst on the ground. The police came up,
and defendant ran away, but was pursued and captured.
When they first accosted witness he thought it was a
joke, until Osborne insisted upon having half-a-crown,
and was proceeding to use force.
Two constables proved that they found Osborne with
his left arm round Mrs. Pincher's neck, and was beating
her about the head with the other hand. Both defend-
ants were sober.
Defendants said they just touched the complainants,
when the husband struck them both, and they were com-
pelled to stand in their own defence.
Mr. BOND ordered them to pay 50s. each, for each
of the two assaults (Si.), or be imprisomed for two
months each.
