LAMBETH:

' Mr. Lawrence, a man of respectable appearance, who
described himself as a compositor in the printing
establishment of Clowes and Sons,' in Duke-street,
Stamford-street, applied to Mr. Elliott for his advice and
assistance under the following extraordinary circum-
stances:—
The applicant, who was accompanied by his wife,
stated that on the night of the Bth of May last his wife,
then present, had been forcibly carried away from her
residence in the vicinity of Stamford-street, and taken to
a house of ill-fame in Orchard-street, Westminster, by
two men, and there used in a most shameful and shock-
ing manner, by two persons, the one a cow-keeper and
the other an egg merchant. On the following morning
at about five o'clock she was turned into the street, and
made the best of her way home, but such had been her
treatment that her person was covered with bruises, and
her head was so affected that he was obliged to send her
to Armstrong's Peckham Asylum for seven weeks.
Mr. ELLIOTT, to the applicant—Have you any evidence
to corroborate this statement of your wife? Applicant—
Only this, that when my wife was coming away from the
house to which she had been taken, and where, accord-
ing to her own statement, she was drugged, she was
accosted by a policeman on the beat, who told her he had
seen the shameful manner in which she had been used in
forcing her into the house on the night before, and if she
wished to proceed against the parties, whose names he
knew, he would come forward and give evidence.
Mr. ELLIOTT—Have you since seen that policeman?
Applicant—l have not, sir, though I have taken much
trouble to find him,
Mr. ELLIOTT-HOW soon after returning from the
Lunatic Asylum was it that your wife made this disclo-
sure to you of her having been so badly treated? Ap-
plicant—About a month, sir; but she has since seen
both parties, and declares positively they are the persons
who used her so shamefully.
Mr. ELLiorr—Well, I must say I am somewhat sur-
prised at the time which has been allowed to elapse
since you were made acquainted with the circumstances.
Applicant—The fact, sir, is, that I have been endea-
vouring to find out the policeman who had seen and
knew the two persons who had seduced and ill-used my
wife, so as to be enabled at once to give them into
custody.
Mr. ELLIOTT—I cannot help thinking that the state-
ment of your wife is rather a singular one. Do you re-
collect missing her from home on the night in question?
Applicant—Most certainly I did, sir, and saw her the
follo*ing day in a dreadful state. Besides, my wife has
within the last two or three days learned from the waiter
at a public-house which the parties frequent that they
had been boasting there of what they had done.
Mr. ELLIOTT observed that it would be desirable to ,
have the wife of the applicant corroborated in some es-
sential part of her statement before persons of respect-
ability and character were given into custody on so
serious a charge.
Police-sergeant 22. B said that on the applicant calling
at the station-house he referred to the occurrence-book,
and could find no entrance in May last of any such cir-
cumstance occurring in Orchard-street, Westminster,
though it would be the duty of the constable, if he had
witnessed it, to make a report of the circumstance to-his
superior officer. He had also made as much inquiry
into the circumstances as the time would permit, but
could learn nothing of the occurrence. On that, as on
other nights, the constables would be mustered at the
station-house, before going on duty, and the applicant
and his wife would, on attending there, have an oppor-
tunity of seeing each of them.
Mr. ELLIOTT thought this a good suggestion, and told
the applicant that when prepared with further evidence
he should afford him all the assistance in his power. .
WORSHIP-STREET.
A few days ago a young married woman, named Ann
Guest, whose face was shockingly swollen and contused,
appeared before Mr. Broughton to obtain an assault
warrant against her husband, a journeyman dyer, living
in Whitecross-place, Finsbury.
It appeared from the woman's statement that her hus-
band, although capable of earning a comfortable liveli-
hood for his family, consisting of herself and three chil-
dren, had for a long time past abandoned himself to
dissolute habits, not having contributed a farthing to-
wards their maintenance for the last three years, during
the whole of which period they had been solely supported
by the produce of her own labours as a silk winder. On
the day preceding that on which she made her complaint,
her husband returned home,in a state of intoxication,
and, because she was unable to furnish him with money
to procure more liquor, he commenced beating her in the
most brutal manner.

Mr. BItOUGHTON immediately ordered a warrant to be
issued for the apprehension of the husband, and yester-
day being appointed for the hearing, when the case was
called on,

Hayward, the warrant officer, informed the magis-
trate that on proceeding to the house to require the de-
fendant's attendance, he found that the wretched man
had gone before a more awful tribunal, having committed
a most determined act of self-destruction. From subse-

quent inquiries he ascertained that the deceased had dis-
played the greatest despondency ever since the departure
of his wife, who had been compelled to take refuge at
the house of her brother, and on the preceding day he
contrived to procure a bottle of poison. the contents of
which he was about to swallow, when he was detected in
the act by one of the lodgers, who wrested it from him,
and took it into his own apartment. He had only been
there a short time, however, when he heard the fall of
some heavy body in the deceased's room, and on return-
ing found the unfortunate man lying on the floor with
his throat cut, and although medical assistance was in-
stantly procured, it was unavailing, as he must have
died instantaneously.

MARYLEBONE.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE.--Yesterday, Mary
Dempsey, was brought up in custody, and placed at the
bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having been
concerned in a robbery of plate to the amount of nearly
3001., the property of James Robinson, Esq., No. 6,
Ben tuck- s tree t, Manchester-square.
The robbery was effected on the 12th instant, when an
entry was, as it is imagined, madb by the thieves
through one of the attic windows, facility for so doing
having offered itself owing to an adjoining house un-
dergoing extensive repairs. A reward of 201. was im-
mediately offered for the apprehension of the guilty
parties, and handbills were circulated throughout the
various divisions of police.
William Kibble, assistant to Mr. Wells, pawnbroker,
Broad-street, Bloomsbury, deposed, that on the previous
evening the prisoner came to the shop, and offeFed for
pledge two massive silver teaspoons, upon which she

asked 15s. She said they belonged to a Mrs. Kilday,
who had lent them to her ; and on witness requesting her
to fetch the lady in order that he might be satisfied that
all was correct, she went away. In about twenty
minutes she returned, saying that Mrs. Kilday had gone
to the theatre. He told her he should detain her in the
shop until he had made some inquiry, when she expressed
her unwillingness to remain, at the same time remarking
to him, that if he found anything wrong he might give
her in charge. He went in a cab, taking with him the
spoons, to Mr. Robertson, who, on examining them,
pronounced them to be his.
Ashbourne, 119 F, said that the statement made to
him by the prisoner was, that as she was standing in
Holborn with her basket, a female purchased of her two-
pennyworth of walnuts, and asked her to pledge the
spoons at Mr. Jones's, close by ; but as' she had had
some words with Mr. Jones, she objected to go there,
and accordingly she proceeded to Mr. Wells's, and of-
fered the articles in the name of Kilday.
Inspector Tedman said that in a short time other in-
formation with respect to parties implicated, and who
were not yet in custody, would most likely be obtained.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
FURIOUS DRIVING AND ASSAULT.--Edward Knight
and George Flower were charged as follows :
It appeared that on the previous evening, Knight was
driving a cab at a furious rate along the Harrow-road,
when the vehicle came in contact with a post, and was
turned over; a person named Higgs went up to render
assistance, upon which the prisoner Flower, who had got
out of a cart which had been going at a dangerous rate,
in order to keep up with the cab, committed upon him
(Higgs) an assault. The prisoners were both given into
custody. Fined 40s. each.
ROBBERY OF A WATCH.—George Hyde, who stood
charged with stealing a watch, the property of Elizabeth
Davis, cook to Mr. Tyers, 11, Kensington-terrace, under
the circumstances previously detailed, was brought up
yesterday for re-examination. It will be recollected that
the prisoner, who is an omnibus conductor, solemnly
denied all knowledge of the prosecutrix or of her watch.
In fact, his defence was, that the woman had mistaken
him for another man. To-day, however, Elizabeth Tay-
lor, the fellow-servant of the prosecutrix, swore that the
prisoner was the person with whom the prosecutrix had
been keeping company. He was committed for trial.
THAMES.
Yesterday, two important cases, prosecuted by order
of the Board of Trade, came on for hearing before Mr.
Broderip.
In the first case, John Driscoll, a crimp, of 87, Pen-
nington-street, Radcliff Highway, was charged under
the 3d section of the Act for the Protection of
Merchant Seamen, Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 116,
with supplying a seaman, named Joseph Battis, a man
of colour, with a berth on board a ship, he not being
duly licensed to do so by the Board of Trade, by which
he had incurred a penalty not exceeding 201.
Mr. Pelham, for the prosecution, said the Act pro-
hibited any person from interfering to procure seamen
on board merchant ships, unless they were licensed by
the Board of Trade. No one could plead ignorance of
the Act in the port of London, because the Board had
caused placards to be printed and extensively circulated,
which contained the principal clauses in the Act, and
cautioned all persons against offending and acting con-
trary to its provisions. The Earl of Clarendon, the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, was exceedingly anxious
for the law to be enforced, and was determined to pro-
tect the merchant seamen of the country. The assistant-
registrar of the Board of Trade had been directed by the
Noble President to attend and prove that Driscoll was
not licensed by the Board.
Joseph Bettis, a seaman, was then called, and although
ha had been tampered with and threatened by the de-
fendant, he nevertheless, on being exhorted by the
magistrate to tell the truth, and the whole truth, gave
his evidence fairly, and stated that in March last
he was accosted by the defendant in the West India
Dock, who asked him what he was ? and on his in-
forming him that he wanted a cook's berth, the defendant
shipped him as cook on board the Sir Robert Peel, bound
to St. John's, New Brunswick, and some money passed
between them.
Mr. Lack, assistant-registrar at the office of the Board
of Trade, said that no such person as John Driscoll was
licensed to ship, merchant seamen.
Burgess, a police-constable, stated that the words
" licensed to ship seamen " were painted over the door
of the house in which Driscoll lived.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was a
shipping agent before the passing of the Act, and did
business with a great number of masters and owners.
After the passing of the Act he did business for a li-
censed agent, named Beale, who lived in his house, and,
after that person went to prison for debt, he continued
to live in the house, and the words " licensed to ship
seamen " without Beale's name, remained. He then as-
serted that the black man had shipped on board the Sir
Robert Peel eight days before he clapped eyes upon him,
and that he was engaged by a man named Lobeck.
Bettis was recalled, and in answer to questions by Mr
Pelham, said he did not' know Lobeck, and that Dris-
coll had threatened to beat him with a stick so recently
as Tuesday.
Mr. BRODERIP said, this was the first case under the
third clause which had been prosecuted in that Court,
and he was glad to hear that the Board of Trade was
determined to protect seamen, and prevent their being
robbed by persons like the defendant. There were great
difficulties to .be encountered in prosecuting these cases
and. without the intervention of the Board of Trade or
the registrar of seamen, the Act would be rendered nu-
gatory. The case was completely made out, and he
sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 51. and the costs.
GREENWICH.
Thomas Smith, steward of the ship Grecian, from
China to London, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged
with the dishonest appropriation of two Canton crape
shawls, twenty-four boxes of Chinese artificial flowers
and butterflies, and a set of cornelian beads, the pro-
perty'of Captain James M`Dowall, of the above-named
ship.
It appeared from the statement of' Captain M'Dowall
that he was taken ill at Hong Kong, and remained there
after the ship had sailed for England in order to
recruit his health; he desired the prisoner to take
charge of the articles in question, and to deliver them to
his wife on reaching England. Witness fortunately
recovered, and was able to quit China by an
early ship unexpectedly. The prisoner had left the
,ship, but he traced him to a house in Broomfields,
Deptford, where a police-constable found part of the
property.
The prisoner denied that he had brought the • pro-
perty from the ship, or knew what had become of it; he
understood that the whole of the things had been stolen
from the Grecian shortly after her arrival in St. Ka-
therine's Dock.
The police-constable had found at the prisoner's
lodgings shirts, stockings, and other articles with
the captain's mark on them, which had been worn by the
prisoner.
The prisoner said in defence that he had purchased
the things produced in China, and that the captain had
similar articles.
Mr. TRAILL said he would remand the prisoner for a
week in order to make inquiries, and further search for
the remaining property, but would take bail in 401. for
his appearance on that day.
HAMMERSMITH.
Three men of fashionable appearance, who gave their
names as Wm. Barnet, tobacconist, White Lion-place,
Paddington; George Davis, professional singer, Somers-
town; and James .111‘Lean, who refused to give his ad-
dress, were brought up from the Westminster Bride-
well, for further examination, on a charge of having
committed a robbery on the premises of Mr. James
Richardson, the City Barge, Strand-on-the-Green, near
Kew-bridge, Chiswick.
Mrs. Rachel Richardson deposed that she was the wife
of Mr. James Richardson, landlord of the City Barge,
Strand-on-the-Green, near Kew-bridge, in the parish of
Chiswick. On the evening of Friday last, about six
o'clock, witness saw three persons of respectable appear-
ance enter the house, and went out of the kitchen and
met them at the bottom of the stairs. Finding they
were going upstairs to the public room on the first floor,
she went up three stairs, to see if her bed-room door was
shut, which adjoined the public room. As she came
down again the three persons went upstairs, and ordered
fourpennyworth of gin with cold water, and a
glass of ale. The prisoners Davis and M‘Lean, wit-
ness was sure, were two of the men. Witness sent the
drink up by a little girl, her daughter, who
brought a shilling down. After they had been there
about a quarter of an hour witness's daughter, Elizabeth'
came running down into the bar, and said, " Mother,
mother," but witness was attending to two other re-
spectably-dressed men who had come in, and stood at the
bottom of the stairs, and did not therefore answer her;
but witness's suspicions were excited by her manner, and
at the same moment she fancied that she heard a rumb-
ling noise over head. The prisoner Davis had followed
witness's daughter Elizabeth down stairs, and stood at
the kitchen-door for five or six minutes. While he was
standing there witness passed across the foot of the stair
into the washhouse, for some hot water, when she fan-
cied she heard somebody at her bed-room door, and went
up two or three stairs to see, and saw . the prisoner
M`Lean making from the bed-room door into the front
room, where the third man was sitting, in great
haste, and on entering it he sat down in the first chair
he came to. Witness was so agitated at what she
had seen that she made hot gin and water for Davis,
who had come down for another glass of 'gin and
water. Davis drank the glass of gin and water without
taking it up stairs, and the other two prisoners coming
down stairs, Davis and them left together. Wit-
ness directly went up with her daughter to her bed-room,
and found thd door locked as the latter had left it, but
on entering and examining the drawers, she found that
the gold watch produced had been stolen, and also about
a pound in silver, from a basin in the drawer containing
silver money. The watch was her late mother's watch,
and on her recently taking it to a watchmaker's to have
something done to it, he said it was worth 60 guineas.
Saw very little of the third man, but thought the prisoner
Barnet very like him. Witness saw the watch safe. in
the drawer at ten o'clock in the morning.
Further evidence having been addueed,
Mr. PAYNTER said he should commit all three prisoners
for trial, but as there might be a possibility of a doubt as
to Barnet, he would admit him to bail, himself in 2001.,
and two sureties in 100/. each, 48 hours' notice of bail
being first given to Inspector Morgan.
The prisoners were then committed to Newgato for
trial, and the witnesses were all bound over to prosecute.

WRECKS ON THE THAMES.—The LORD MAYOR
has given Captain Fisher, principal Harbour-master of
the Port of London, directions to proceed immediately
to remove three wrecks, which aro likely, if not soon
taken away or destroyed, to become dangerous impe-
diments to the navigation of the Thames. Captain
Fisher intends to carry out the intention of the Chief
Magistrate, by the explosion of gunpowder. One of
the wrecks lies off Yantlett Creek, another near the
westermost end of the Blythe Sand, and the third, (a
large barge laden with chalk) off Northfleet Creek.

THE UNWER SAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 60 per Cent. Saved!
To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
the advantages' resulting from the Invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is Its purity, that it neither affects
or sons the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the Introduction of gas in dwellint,houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ;
these are
entirely obviated by. the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS
BURNELL" As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com-
monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the

BURNER
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846,
Sir Jour; Itxxxim, President, in the Chair
"A gag burner of a novel and Ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the.
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was
heated, and passed nut by two series of fire-holes around the periphery,
and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted• hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."
