No invention which ministers in a remarkable
degree to the public comfort appears to escape the notice of
his Grace the Duke of Wellington. Neither the cares of
office, nor the duties of a legislator, are permitted so entirely
to engross his Grace's time as to prevent his devoting some
attention to the fruits of ingenuity, and the results of enter•
prise. The other day, for example—we believe it was Mon-
day—the venerable and gallant Duke paid a visit to the
ware-rooms of Messrs. Nicoll of Regent-street, to inspect a
new manufacture of Llama Woollen Cloth, patented by the
firm, and used in their Registered Palatot, and appeared to
think very highly of its quality, and its fitness for clothing
purposes. The Duke was, of course, recognised by a crowd,
and cheered as be left the establishment. Of the Llama

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Sergeant A—D—.4.3;s— and a full Bench of Magi-

strates.)
CREMORNE GARDRNS' STADIUM—Yesterday 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, pray ing 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 hail receiveo 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 Wit.xtrts for the appellant, a
division took place; and there were 23 fbr granting the
license, and 4 against it. _ _ _

Mr. 'SergeantAnAms said he perfectly am reed with the ma-
jority of the Magistrates, and hoped Mr.°Ellis would do al
in his power to make the gardens a respectable place o:
amusement.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Mr. John Bannister Faulkner and Mr. Bentham Fa •
bian, who have been concerned in certain railway spe-
culations, were charged before Alderman Gibbs, under
the following remarkable circumstances, by Mr. Leon
Solomons, of No. 66, Jermyn-street, St. James's. As
the case comprehended eet.sesirZi' forgery of shares, the
d'ustict-room was crowded with speculating individuals
and members of the Stock Exchange. Zsolicitor at-
tended for the complainant, and Mr. Ballantine, of the
bar, appeared for the defendants.
Mr. Solomons, upon being sworn, stated as follows :
The first time I ever saw Fabian was the day before
yesterday. In the early part of March a gentleman
came to my house, and brought with him a Mr.
Richards, who he said wanted some money upon a
quantity of scrip. He produced 500 shares in the
Buckinghamshire Railway Company, and in the Bletch-
ley and Oxfordshire Junction Railway Company,
and I ultimately lent money on these shares. He
gave me a letter stating that I was at
liberty to sell the shares if they should fall to one pound
discount per share. I advanced Mr. Richards 4501. upon
shares which I afterwards sold. I subsequently saw
Mr. Richards, and advanced him 2001. upon 200 of the
same shares. They were then within an eighth of par,
and two guineas had been paid upon each of them. On
Wednesday last Mr. Richards called upon me with Mr.
Fabian, who, he said, was a friend of his, and I said to
him, Mr. Richards, you promised to come and settle the
former transaction, to whieh he replied that he had no
money at present, but he expected some in a few days,
and he stated that both he and his friend wanted money
on good security. I asked him what security, and he
replied shares, the same sort of scrip which I had before,
and of which a great quantity was possessed by his
friend. I asked him where they were, and Mr. Richards
said his friend had them in the City, and we agreed
upon the terms, and Mr. Fabian went away, leaving Mr.
Richards at my place, and returned in about an hour and
half, and brought me 400 of those scrip produced. I

money very particularly to pay to Mr. Faulkner by four
o'clock this day. I said, I can't give you the money,
because I want your name across the cheque. Mr.
Fabian said, if Mr. Richards will write his name across
the cheque, you can discount your own cheque. I said,
Very well; I have no objection to do that, and I did so
accordingly. Mr. Richards put his name across the
cheque, and I paid Mr. Fabian four notes of 1001. each,
one 201. note, and six 10/. notes. They took the money,
and went away. Yesterday morning I received infor-
mationof from
Old B myr o a bankers,d- tree, that the scripst n P
were' Messrs. W
a Princep,ll
forge-
ries. Co.,
I said that I had a large quantity more, and I pro-
duced them, and found that they were all forgeries.
Broad-street, er
I then went and consulted my solicitor, and
from him to my brokers, and I was advised
to look after the man. I went to the office of Mr.
Faulkner, and Mr. Fabian, at No. 75, Old Broad-street,
and I asked for Mr. Richards. A person in the office
said be was not there. I observed at the same time a
person in tlie next room, and I went over towards it,
when the door was closed in my face. I immediately
pushed the door back and saw another door behind it,
through which the individual, whom I afterwards found
to be Mr. Fabian, escaped. Mr. Faulkner was in the
room at the time. Mr. Fabian, when he got outside
the door, ran as fast as he could, and I followed and
cried out after him. A crowd collected, and Mr. Fabian
finding that I was following him stopped, and said he
would return with me and explain. He did return with
me to the office. I asked him where he got the scrip
which he gave to me on the day before ? He replied,
from a friend. I asked him what friend, but
he merely said " Oh, from a friend." I asked him
why he ran away. He replied that he did not run away,
but he was going to his bankers. I said to him, " You
ran as fast as you could, and you stopped when you saw
me determined to follow you." He denied it. " I then
said, " Where is my money, my 4801. that I gave you
yesterday ? ' "Oh !" said he, " I have got the money
-quite sale, and I'll give it you back again." He added,
that he supposed if he would give me back the money
that was all I wanted.
Alderman GIBBS—Had you mentioned that the scrip
were forgeries at the time ?
Witness—Yes ; I told him I heard they were forgeries.
Mr. Princep, my broker, who was present at the time,
said he did not think that I was in a condition to take
the money, as Mr. Fabian, it appeared had had many
more transactions with Mr. Rickards. Mr. Fabian said that
such was the case. I then asked Mr. Fabian where my money
was, and he said if I would go with him in a cab, he
would give it back to me. Mr. Princep said he did not
think I could take the money, but advised that we should
go to my legal adviser. That was agreed upon, and Mr.
Faulkner, Mr. Fabian, and myself, went into a cab, a
police officer having got upon the box with the driver,
and drove off to my solictor. In going along I told Mr.
Faulkner of the 2001. transaction I had with Mr. Richards
on the 30th of April, and that Mr. Richards said he had
had the shares of him, and had given him the money.
Mr. Falkner said that such was the fact—Mr. Richards
had given him the 2001., and whatever transaction I had
aantd
tchoem coming
with Mr. Richards, they (Faulkner and Fabian) would
make good to me. I said it would be to their interest to
find Mr. Richards, and they both said I might depend
upon it they would do so. We went then into my soli-
citor's office, and Mr. Fabian said, in answer to several
questions, that Mr. Richards was well known to him, and
a very particular friend of his.; but he could not, he said,
tell where the gentleman was, or where he resided.
Mr. Ballantine—To whom did you lend this scrip,
after you got it from Mr. Fabian ? Witness—lt never
went from my hands until I put it in the hands of the
police officer.
Mr. Ballantine—Never into any broker's hands ?
Witness—Never. I do not keep a jeweller's shop, but I
have a good stock.
Mr. Princep, of 75, Broad-street, stated that he did
not know Mr. Fabian, or Mr. Faulker, at all.
Mr. W. J. Parker, of No. 7, Tokenhouse-yard,i a
member of the Stock Exchange, stated that he was in-
formed by one of the directors of the Buckinghamshire
Railway Company, that a great many forgeries of the
scrip had been issued, and he believed that all those
produced were forgeries.
Daniel Forester, the officer, showed that the scrip
exhibited were palpable forgeries.
Mr. Ballantine wished to be informed whether the
Buckinghamshire Railway Company was not winding up
its affairs ?
The Secretary to the Company replied that the Com-
pany was not winding up its affairs. It was regularly
before Parliament.
The solicitor to the complainant then requested the
Alderman to remand the case until Tuesday.

George Wittick, assistant in the service of Messrs. Sewell
and Cross, linendrapers, in Frith-street, Soho, stated that
about six o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, 6th of April
last, he recollected the prisoner coming to his employer's
shop to inquire for blankets, which he purchased
or 195.,
and also a shawl for 16s. 9d., which he paid for with a 201.
note of the Canterbury Bank, No. 742, and dated Feb, 18th,

of it, and having endorsed it, witness gave the prisoner the
change. He also purchased a stock for the neck, and the
articles being tied up in paper, the prisoner took them away.
He gave the name and address of Cook, residing at 0 •

followed him to No. 163, Sloane-street, Chelsea. He *
saw him yesterday, and as he was leaving his house, tenat
tgam
o'clock, the witness Wittick stopped him. Witness told him
that he was an officer, and that he apprehended him on a
charge of robbing the Gravesend Post-office, and he replied
that it was all a mistake, at the same time asking at what
time the robbery occurred, and when the note in question was
changed. He was told that the note had been changed on
the 6th of last month. He replied that he could prove that
he was in France at the time. At the station he refused to
give his name or address, and the stock produced, which was
identified by the witness, was taken from his neck, together
with a sayer watch and chain produced. He then gm lib
