CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—DEc. 15.

NEW COURT.

This Court has again undergone some alteration and
additional improvement, but the embellishment is still left
unfinished. The gallery is, perhaps, the most convenient
part of this Court for strangers, but as at present managed
frequent obstructions occur in the course of business. In-
stead of being, as intended, a place of accommodation for
the public, it is farmed out to a woman, who is the sole
mistress, and exacts any sum (ever so exorbitant), that she
likes for the admission. We are informed that so high a
sum as three hundred pounds per annum is paid for the
two galleries. The passages of the Court are, in addition,
literally infested by a description of barkers employed to
introduce strangers into the gallery. At eleven o'clock the
Petty Jury entered the Court, but were directed by the
Common Sergeant to proceed into the Old Court to be
sworn in. The business in this Court was subsequently
adjourned until to-morrow (this day.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

W OR SHIP- S TREE7'.

Yesterday Thomas Tyler, the young man who was
charged at this Office, on Monday last, with the wilful
murder of Margaret Ross, a young woman to whom he had
been paying his addresses, was again placed at the bar for
re-examination before Messrs. BROUGHTON and GROVE,
the presiding Magistrates. -
The prisoner was, on his former examination, without
any professional adviser, but yesterday Mr. Wooler was re-
tained to watch the proceedings in his behalf.
After some discussion, the Magistrates said that, for the
present, they should order the prisoner's discharge ; but if,
at any subsequent time, further evidence could be obtained
against him, he might be again taken into custody.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
James Fitch, a boy of about eight years of age, was yes.
terday brought before the Magistrates, charged with va•
g ran cy.

The boy has been at least twenty times committed from
this office, and on nearly every occasion he has declared that
he was going into the country the very next day.
Defendant, when called on, said, " Oh, your Worship, if
you let me go this time, you'll never see me again."
Mr. CHAMBERS said he had seen him too often, and or-
dered him to be committed for a month.

Three lads, named Hill, Dogerty, and Templar, were
charged with being in the Grapes public-house, Little
Windmill-street, with intent to commit a felony.
The prisoners were found at night in a cupboard up stairs.
Prosecutor said, he was sure if they knew his circum-
stances, they would never come there to steal any thing.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Why not ? Prosecutor—l've nothing
to lose.

Mr. CHAMBERS—Isn't gin-selling a good business ? Pro-
secutor—No ; it's shocking. —lt never was so bad.
Mr; CHAMBERS—That is the most gratifying news I
ever heard. Three cases out of four of extreme poverty
are produced by gin.
The prosecutor would not swear they were there to com-
mit a felony, and the Magistrates discharged them.
