LAMBETH.

Yesterday Mr. ELLIOTT was engeged for some time in
hearing a number of summonses which hid been taken
out at the instance of the governors and guardians of
The poor of the parish of St. Mary's, Newington, by
Cook, their newly-appointed inspector of nuisances for
offences under the Saniiary Bill of last session.
Amongst those summon, d was a person named
Ellis, the owner of largo premises in Churro-
street, Manor-place, Walworth, which have been for
some years tee greatest possible nuisance to the
inhabitants of that populous neighbourhood. So
serious were the evils arising from these premises, that
the parish has been from time to time, put to consider-
able expense in endeavouring t abate the nuisance;
hut such was the defective state of the law that it was
not until the passing of the Bill last session that suffi-
cient powers were given to the as igistratee to do so.
It was stated in evidence that the defendant's pre-
mises were used as a place where the nightmen were
allowed to deposit their night soil on the payment of lee
a load ; that the soil was afterwards mixed up with cer-
tain portions of horsedung, tan, an I other matter, and
subsequently carted away by farmers and market-gar
defiers. During the process of mixing, while on the
premises, and while being filled into the carts, this com-
position emitted the most abominable stench.
Mrs. Thwite, a lady residing in Manor-place, deposed,
that on many occasions a quantity of night soil fre-
quently exuded through a wall which separated her
garden from the premises of Mr. Ellis, and the stench
and nuisatee which it ea,isecl were quite intolerable.
Latterly one of her daughters was seriously affected with
illness, brought on, she hid no doubt, by tb-o noxious
and unwholesome smell from the defendant's premises.
Me. Bell, a medical gentleman, residing in Manor-
place, said, he attended the daughter of the list witness,
and had no doubt her illness was produced •by the un-
wholesome and fetid odour emitted from the defendant's
premises. Ile (Mr. 13,11) had had frequent opportuni-
ties of witnessing the injurious effects to the health of
the inhabitants produced by the soil and composition
kept on Mr. Ellis's premises. He had also seen a large
quantity of night soil which had exuded through a wall
surrounding Mr. Ellis's yard, and which remained in
the garden of Mrs. Thwite.
Mr. May, a member of the board of governors of the
poor of the parish of Newington, who had viewed the
premises of the defendant, said there wore from 200 to
300 loads of night soil and other offensive matter there
at the time, and that it was his firm conviction that the
place was most destructive to the health of the inhabit-
ants of the neighbourhood.

The defendant, in reply to the charge, made a rambling
statement, in which he did not attempt to deny the ex-
istence of the nuisance, but coolly asked for three weeks
to remove it.

Mr. ELLIOTT :refused to permit any delay, and made
an order for the removal of the nuisance instanter, telling
the defendant that he would be liable to a penalty of
103. a day for every day the nuisance was continued, or
in default of payment to forty days' imprisonment.
William IVeroton, James Williams, and Elizabeth Tay-
lor, were charged with being concerned in the following
ingenious trick :
On the preceding evening the prisoner Newton en-
tered the shop of Mr. Rust, an extenive cheesemonger,
at the corner of East-lane, in the Kent-road, and ordered
four pounds of the best cheese to be sent to No. 11, Sur-
rey. square, and also the change fur a sovereign. A
boy who was sent with the cheese was met near the
house in Surrey-square by a woman, evidently in league
with the prisoners, who took the cheese and gave what
the boy believed to be a sovereign, but which turned out
to be a counterfeit.

The three prisoners were taken into custody by con-
stables 249 and 89 of the M division of police, who
had been watching their manoeuvres, but the woman,
who actually gave the sovereign, managed to effect her
escape.

Ti.- prisoners were remanded until Saturday next,
when it is expected many other cases will be brought
against them.

THAMES.

John Calnan, a coal-whipper, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a savage assault
on James Woodhurst, a police-constable of the K divi-
sion; and Ann Twig, a well-known and disorderly pros-
titute, was charged with attempting to rescue Calnan
from custody.
It appeared from the evidence, that Woodhurst gave
evidence, on Saturday, against a woman for stealing
three sovereigns from a man whom she had inveigled
into a brothel. She was committed for trial. Calnan
was the paramour of the thief. Between the hours of
one and two o'clock in the morning the police-constable
was in conversation with a Custom-hisuse officer named
Ford, in New Gravel-lane, when Calnan accosted him,
and said, " You are the b-- that got my pal cum-
mitted the other day." The policeman told the prisoner
to go on, which he refused to do, and at last Woodhurst
attempted to lay hold of him. He was immediately
pinioned by the fellow, who tried to throw him down,
A. struggle took place, and the prisoner being the
stronger man at last got the policeman down, dragged
him along the gutter by the hair of the head,
and ill-used him in a most savage manner. Another
scuffle took place on the ground, and the prisoner ulti-
mately grasped the police-constable by the neck with
one hand, and the hair of his head with the other, and
inflicted serious injuries upon him. All this time
the female prisoner was encouraging Calnan to beat the
while
. hhouersec officer,omanio
police-constable, nnll
d seized hold of Woodhurst's hair
was beating him. Ford, the Cus-
tom-
with her Calitan
tin
opuued her away, and while engaged
u
his violence.ElThe cries of the policeman for assistance
n broughtis d a respectable shop-
keeper named Massey
to hoor. Woodhurst called
out, " For God's sake,
or I shall be rnurd Mr. Massey, Micasomsee and assist me,
sprang a rattle, and crossed the road to yw
hierareme thedi ait.elY
ar-
ties were struggling on the ground with a staff -
band. He tried to pull Calnan off :the police-constable,ibh
but was prevented doing so by the woman, who had pre
viousiy overpowered the Custom-house officer. She took.
hold of Mr. Massey's rattle, and got that away from him.
Mr. Massey was about to strike Calnan with his staff,
but the woman held his arms. The scuffle on the
ground continued some time longer, until Woodhurst
was quite exhausted. Other policemen, however, came
to his aid, and took Calnan away from him, and after a
desperate conflict, during which the ruffian was repeat.
edly knocked down, he was secured and carried to the
station-house. Woodhurst received very serious injuries
in the course of the affray. The case was clearly made
out, and

Mr. YARDLEY, after commenting on the brutal and
coAardly assault committed by Calnan on the police-
constable, said it was a grave offence to intimidate a
witness, and it could not be tolerated. The prisoner ap •
peared to have been actuated by vindictive motives to-
wards Woodhurat because he had done his duty as re-
garded the case of robbery, and apprehended his com-
panion. He sentenced Calnan to he imprisoned for one
month for the assault on the police-constable, and he
was sorry he could not add hard laboir to it ; and he
committed Twig, as a disorderly prostitute, to the

er
House of Correction for fourteen days, and be hept to
hard labour
