MARLBR()'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Willtam Frederick Norman and Charles Broadwood,
reported on the police sheet a: gentlemen, it being whis-
pered about court that the former is an officer in the
army, were charged with knocking- and ringing at
several doors in Jermyn-street, without any sufficient
occasion.

Police constable 133 C, said that while he was on duty
in Jermyn-street, this morning, about seven o'clock, he
heard cries of " Police," in a female voice, and on run
fling towards the spot found a female at the door of
No. 3, Jermyn-street, in her night clothes, aud th,
prisoner Norman (who stands six feet high) endeavour-
ing to force his way in. The female told him that.
she had been called up by a loud knocking
and ringing at the door, and when she opened it two
gentlemen had endeavoured to force an entrance, and
one of them had succeeded, and was at that moment on
the stairs. He remonstrated with them on their conduct,
And after some time they were persuaded to leave ; but
immediately on quitting the house No. 3 they ran rignt
across the street, and knocked with violence at the
house No. 102, and rang the bells. Before he could
follow them there, they had left that door, and crossed
to the opposite side of the street, to the door of No. 15,
and there rapped and rang. He therefore took them
both into custody.
Susan Clarke, servant at No. 3. Jermyn-street, said
she heard a violent knocking and ringing at the door
this morning. On opening the door the two persons in
Court asked fur a party who she told them did not live
there, but the shortest of the two (Broadwood) pushed
past her and rushed up stairs, while the other detained
her at the door. She therefore called the police, and
sought their protection.
The prisoners, who seemed to be still under the power
of liquor, were then called upon for their defence, and
Norman began a magniloquent address to the magis-
trate; and in the course of his speech charged the police-
Man with perjury, in making such a charge against him,
appealing to the profession of which he had the honour
to be a member.
Mr. HARDWICK said their conduct was such that he
could not but visit it with severity. The prisoners
Must pay 50s. each, or go to prison for fourteen due.
The prisoner Norman craved the liberty of making
one remark. He begged to know of the magistrate
What means of redress he could have against the
constable, for he was determined to represent his conduct
to the Commissioners of Police.
Mr. Haapwicx said the conduct of the prisoners had
been most improper, and the constable had done his
day in a praiseworthy manner; but he (Mr. Hardwick)
not sit there to give advice, but to give judgment on
the case before him.
A most respectably dressed, and modest looking,
young lady was brought up under the following circum-
stances :
Mr. Marchand, the pawnbroker, 438, Oxford-street,
laid the young lady in Court brought to his shop last
night a Chantilly veil, and a pearl necklace and ear-rings,
which she offered in pledge, the veil for 2s. 6d.' and the
other articles for 303. He considered the veil, being of
lace, was worth at least two guineas, and, therefore, sus-
Pected, from the low price, she asked, she had not come
late, possession of the articles in a proper way. lie
q4eationed her, and as her answers were not satisfactory,
he desired her to send the person from whom she had
had them, and ordered his shop-boy to follow her. He
!eta this morning to a coffee-shop in Seymour-street,
nston• square, where the young lady slept last night,
inquire int-) her statement further, and as he could
at get a more satisfactory account, he felt it necessary
° give her into custody. He said she lead given him
the names of some most respectable parties.
The defendant, in answer to a number of questions
fast the magistrate, said she had concealed her name
44 night from a wish to avoid discovering her friends,
• ;io were most respectable. The veil was old-
ashioned, she said, and she did not expect it was worth
more ; both it and the pearls had been is her possession
,
lace her mother's death, which occurred eleven years
ae°• She added, that though ber_father lived in the
i'e'ghbourbood of London, she was living in the country,
Ad quite a stranger in London.
Mr. Marchand said that some miniatures and other
fLinlall articles of value, all in the same bag from which
~",6 veil and the necklace were taken, excited his sus-
Incion the more; but taken in connexion with the ac-
town which had now been given, the bag itself
jiag old-fashioned, it gave the story an appearance
~tvuth. He knew the parties well to whom the young
residence had referred, and offered to accompany her to their
`esidence on the Surrey side of the water.
Mr. Haanwxcit, after consulting with the clerk of
the court, said he was strongly impressed with the
Mtruth,_ of the statement which had been made. Mr.
archand, however, had acted quite properly. He
llequested Mr. Marchand, according to his offer, to go
nth the young lady, in order to satisfy himself of the
correctness of her statement.
A donation of 51. from G. H. C., was received in aid
of the poor-box.
