LONDON SESSIONS.

(Before the REcoxvsx,Aldermen GIBBS, HuicTn, and

Sir WM. MAGNAY.)
WANTED AN ALDERMAN—A SCENE IN COURT.—This
morning, at ten o'clock, the grand jury were called, but the
Court could not proceed with business, as there were only
two Aldermen on the bench. After waiting for an hour, the
jury complained of being detained so long. They considered
it a great neglect of duty on the part of the Aldermen, and
it was high time that some strict rule should be laid down ;
and they hoped the neglect would be exposed, and the sub-
ject taken up by the public press.
One of the petty jury asked whether their names could
not be called over, so that those not required might leave?
The Coma said they could not. It was necessary that
the grand jury should be sworn in first, and that could not be
done until the Court was sitting, and that could not be until
another Alderman arrived.

A juror—Then must we all wait because one Alderman
does not attend ? Re ought to be called on a penalty, as we
are —(Laughter.). _

One of the petit jury—lf there is no Court, there is no
power to compel us to stay, and if the grand jury will leave,
we will.
Several took their hats to leave, when Sir Wm. Magnay
entered.
Alderman Gimss said the observations of the jury were
very unpleasant. Sir Wm. Magnay was a volunteer in this
case.

The names on the lint for the day were Aldermen Kelly,
Sir J. Key, Gibb?, Harnphery, Hooper, Hunter, and Moon.
After hearing two or three cases of assault, Alderman
Magnav left. The parties not being ready on the appeal
eases,

The RECORDER said the cases must stand adjourned.
Amongst them were Alderman Moon v. the Poor-rates of
Mildred, Comhill, and the Committee of Lloyd's in a
similar case.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a fall Bench of Magi

strates.)
CAFZIORNE GARDiNS' STADIU3L—On Friday an appeal
was made against the decision of the Magistrates in refusing
to grant a license to Mr. Ellis, the present proprietor of the
Stadium. Cremorne Gardens.

Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Huddlestone
appeared on behalf of the appellant; and Mr. Clarkson and
Mr. E. Wild on the part of the respondents.
There were several petitions read, praying that the license
might be refused, one of which was signed by two Roman
Catholic clergymen of St. Mary's cathedral, Chelsea, and
which stated that they had received several communications
concerning the very improper manner in which the Stadium
was carried on.

Mr. CLARKSON called several witnesses, some of whom
spoke to having seen very improper and immoral acts take
place within the walls of the gardens, and to the demoralis-
ing effect it would have upon the minds of the people if the
license were granted. There were three or four witnesses
who spoke of the continual disturbances which took place
nightly after the amusementsof Cremorne Gardens were over.
After hearing Mr. Sergeant WitAttats for the appellant, a
division took place; and there were 23 for granting the
license, and 4 against it.

Mr. Sergeantancus said he perfectly agreed with the ma-
jority of tne Magietrates, and hoped Mr. Ellis would do all
in his power to make the gardens a respectable place of
amusement.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE
_ GUILDHALL.

On Saturday, Mr. John Clarke, one of the subscribers
at the Hall of Commerce, was brought before Mr. Alder-
man Hooper and Mr. Alderman Farncomb, charged
with uttering a forged scrip certificate or accountable
receipt for the payment of the first instalment of 2/.25.
per share of the capital payable in respect of each of
fifty shares in the Buckinghamshire Railway Joint Stock
Company, with intent to defraud the said company, the
same purporting to be duly signed by their secretary.
The complainant, Charles Edwards, stated that he is
clerk to Mr. John William Robins, a sharebroker, No.
29, Threadneedle-street, and that about the 27th of
April last the prisoner came to their office, in company
with a person named Richards, and asked him to sell
some Bucks scrip. He undertook to do so, found a cus-
tomer, and gave the prisoner a check for 58Z On Fri-
day he was obliged to take back this scrip, as it had been
discoverd to to a forgery, and to hand over to the party
who returned it 130
Mr. Alderrraa FAILNCOMB asked how soon it was dis-
covered to be fo gee].
The witness replied only within a clay or two. There
was no apparent.difil2rence to a casual observer between

the geniiin. e and the forge] scrip, and suspicionwTs
excited by some person noticing that the printer's name
had bent wilfully obliterated by scratching. On the
genuine certificate the printer's address was clear.
lie was directed to give the person from whom he re-
ceived the forged document into custsdy whenever he
met with him.

The prisoner, who seemed perfectly at his ease, said
there was no occasion to have done so, for he was to be
seen every day at the Halt of Commerce, and he was
already in communication with the prosecutors. He had
given all the information in his power to Forrester, the
police officer, and was by his direction in a'Aendanee at
the Mansion house on Friday to be examined as a wit-
ness against the persons there charged with issuing these
forgeries.
Mr. Alderman HooPER observed that he was now
charged himself in the like manner with issuing a certi-
ficate for fifty shares, and he might give any explanation
he pleased.
Mr. Clarke replied he was content to put the whole
circumstances before the world. He had been made a
dupe of by the .person named Richards, who had solici-
ted his aid in gnting a quantity of shares. He had no
suspicion the scrip was forged, and he had not partici-
pated in the proceeds beyond the ordinary profits of a
common agent.

Mr. Alderman HOOPER asked what heknew of Richards.
Mr. Clarke said his knovi ledge of him commenced, he.
believed, in April. or shortly beore. The witness knew
very well that, though they went together to the office,
Richards was the proprietor of the scrip, and that the
business was really done for bias.
The witness said he did the basinesswith the prisoner.
He received the scrips from his hands, and gave him the
value for them.
_ _ _

The privmer observed that he arranged with Richards
to have haT the commission. It was useless t deny
that he was well known to be merely the agent of
Richards in this business. _ _

; I In r,ply to other questions. the witness stated that
• the London and Birmingham Railway Company were
llprose as 18,0.00 forged e,hares wecuting in this cas and that
re afloa he understood that as
many st.
The magistrates e3nsul',ed, and determined to remand
• the prisoner till Tuesday, to be then exqmined before
i the Lord Mayor.
The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail, as he war;
in fact a witness for the prosecution.

-
The magistrate thought the charge too grave to be so
treated.
The prisoner then claimed to have the money found
in his possession, being only a few pounds.
The witness objected. He should claim all the money
fuund Lim, and all the scrips that might be found in
his draw:r at the Hall of Commerce, in liquidation of his
losa. He believed as muchils 5.0001. had been found or
attached belonging to the prisoners in custody at the
Manion-house.
The prisoner then gave up the key of his drawer or
4" at the }IQ of ccaunerce, and was remanded.
