Robert Warrington Crowsher, who was charged at this
Court at few days ago with uttering fraudulent orders
for the payment of money, wai. brought up fur re-ex-
amination.

It will be remembered that the prisoner presented
himself at Trinity Church, Slcane-street, with two ladies
and a marriage license, on the morninc, of yesterday
week, and having been united to one of the ladies, paid
the fees with an order for 5/. upon Messrs. Dixon, of
Chancery-lane, and received the change. It being as-
certained that there was no account in that name at the
bank, the prisoner was taken into custody.
On the prisoner being placed in the dock,
Mr. Clarkson, who attended on behalf of Messrs.
Dixon and Co., said he had a fresh charge to prefer
against the accused, for forging a cheque for 301. He
went into a brief statement of the facts, as afterwards
proved in evidence, and called

Mr. Montague Sharman, solicitor and cleric of indict-
ments in Middle sex and Surrey, who stated that the pri-
soner had been employed in his office. He never gave
the accused any authority to draw cheques in his name.
Witness kept an account at Messrs. Dixons', and he
believed the cheque produced to be in the handwriting
of the prisoner.
The cheque was handed in a, London,n,dwas asfoDlleocw3 4, 18-16,
"Messrs, Dixon and Co.—Please pay Mr. Self or
bearer thirty pounds.

" MONTAGUE SHARMAN."
Mr. Sharman, in concluding his evidence, begged
;(3. say that it was hisimpression that the prisoner was
insane.
Mr. Walker, a clerk at the banking-house, proved
that the cheque was brought to the firm at the busiest
hour of the busiest day in the week. It was cashed at
about four o'clock on Saturday, Dec. 5, three 101. notes
being given.
Evidence was given tracing one or two of these notes
to the prisoner.
A fraudulent order for money, found upon the prisoner
when apprehended, which was in the same handwriting
as the cheque, was here put in.
The accused, who frequently looked vacantly around
him, on being asked what he had to say to the charge,
replied, " I drew the cheques because I had an account
at Dixons'."
Mr. Clarkson re-called Mr. Walker, who said that the
prisoner had never had an account with the firm during
the last twenty years.
The prisoner observed, " I paid 4001. into your bank
in 1841."
The prisoner was fully committed for trial upon two
charges.
Mr. Henry Newton, described as a surgeon, residing
at Kensington, was charged with violently assaulting
Mr. Welham Mumford Nurse, a magistrate for the
county of Middlesex, residing at No. 4, Upper Gore,
Kensington.
Complainant stated that he was walking along
Knightsbridge, on his way home, at about ten on the
previous evening, when he heard a person in a cab
abusing the driver in the most violent manner, and call-
ing upon him to stop. The cabman (lid so, and de-
fendant got out of the cab, when complainant observed
that they were both intoxicated, the driver being a trifle
more so than his fare. Defendant refused to pay the
driver, and the latter having followed him, a policeman
came up. Complainant, who had not before in any way
interfered, observed to the constable that the defendant
ought to pay the driver, and if his demand were illegal,
could take his remedy against him afterwards; upon which
defendant asked him what he was, and upon his inform-
ing him that he was a magistrate, and resided in the
neighbourhood, the defendant applied the most offensive
epithets to him, and seizing him by the breast, shook
him violently, and nearly tore the front of his coat off.
Defendant seized complainant more than once, and
shook him, but did not strike him.
A witness was about to be called, when
Defendant observed that he wished to admit all that
had been said by the complainants. A severe domestic
affliction had induced him to take too much to drink,
but begged he to express his deep regret r.t what had
occurred.
Mr. BURRELL said it was a gross assault, and fined
him 51., which was paid,

the
which
awdaosr,fitted
seized by the Government for an infringement of the
Foreign Equipment and Ellistmcnt Act, came to this
court in a body, for the purpose of seeking redress at
the hands of Mr. Ballantine, the magistrate, for what
they considered an illegal and tyrannical act on the
part of her Majesty'4
Government, in ejecting them
from the ship by force. This proceeding was effected on
Wednesdaymorning at ten o'clock, by Mr. Forsayth, an
officer of the Customs, who was attended by upwards of
one hundred of the Thames and K divisions of police.
Resistance was anticipated, but the appearance of the
Custom-house officers and police in such great numbers,
and an intimation that more force was at hand had the
desired cif et. After some wrangling, the officers and
crew, together with the emigrants and recruits, were
ejected from the ship. They immediately proceeded to
the Thamo; Police-court, and the passages and avenues
leading tl it were for some time blocked up by the,.

motley group of adventu;;;. With the exception of
the officers and sailors, a more wretched-looking set of
men were never collected together. It was said that a
majority of them had been inmates of various metro-
politan workhouses before they joined General Flores'
expedition.
After the disposal of the night charges, Mr. Vissey,
a solicitor, who was accompanied by sev:ral gentlemen,
addressed the magistrate, and said he had an applica!ion
