THAMES.

Elizabeth Carey, a strong, masculine Irish widow,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with vio-
lently assaulting Thomas Hinkley, a broker, and
John Stock well, his man, who both appeared in court
with their linen and clothes saturated with blood.
Each man had received a severe wound on the left
temple, and was terribly bruised.
Stockwell, who was the first witness called, said he
was going up the stairs of the house, followed by the
broker, when he was met by the prisoner, armed
with a large carving-knife, who used the most dreadful
language, and said, "You -, I'll rip your guts
open," and made a blow at him with the knife, which
he fortunately parried. After a severe struggle,
he took the knife from her and gave it to Hick-
ley. The prisoner then made a furious onslaught
on both, knocked the broker headlong down the
stairs, and seizing the witness by the neckcloth,
twisted it and nearly strangled him. Witness
called out " For God's sake release me, I am
choking." He was then quite black in the face, and
one of his companions named Fox and another person
cut his neckerchief and saved his life. The prisoner
then took up an earthenware jug, broke it over his
head, and inflicted the wound on his temple. He bled
copiously, and was carried away from the spot.
Mr. Hinkley, a comical, good-humoured man, got
into the witness-box without his coat.

Mr. YARDLEY—IS brokering at such a low ebb
that you can't afford to wear a coat in a court of jus-
tice ?

The broker (grinning)—She has torn my coat to
atoms (holding up the shreds of it), and nearly served
my linen in the same way. My hat, worth Bs., has
disappeared, and I have got my head broken.—
(Laughter.) The broker, after stating that Mrs.
Carey had been treated with every indulgence, and
that she had removed her goods to avoid payment of
rent, said : After I was thrown down stairs I got up
again you may be sure, and went up stairs, and found
my man iu a dilemma. " Mrs. Carey," says I, " it's
a duty you owe to your landlord to pay rent, and if
you had not removed your goods I should not have
put you to inconvenience." She uttered a tremend-
ous oath, and I was dragged out of the room, and my
head was cut open with a garden pot, and I lost my
hat, and my coat was torn, as you see.
The prisoner vehemently protested that all the evi-
dence was on the side of the complainants; that Hick-
ley was drunk ; and that he and his men broke as
much crockery as would cost 20a. to replace. She
called her son, a coalwhipper, who swore that the
broker and his men were beating his mother.
Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner's conduct was very
dishonest and was very savage. Rent must be paid,
and persons acting legally in enforcing payment must
be protected. He fined the prisoner 405., and in de-
fault of payment committed her for 21 days.
Mr. YARDLEY said a Thames police-sheet had been
just placed before him, on which he observed a most
extraordinary charge against Joseph Lewis Bakewell,
Henry Brocksopp, and George shell, tattiicians, fur
playing music on board the IN itch steam boat on the
river Thames, to the annoyance of the party charging.
The charge was such a very strange one that he de-
sired it might be heard at once, and that the defen-
dants should not be placed in the dock, but stand
before him at the table.

This having been done,
Joieph Ball said—l am master of the old Woolwich
Company's steam-boat the Witch. I have had orders
from our directors not to allow musk on board. The
three musicians came on board and paid their fares,
and begin to play their music. I told them to desist,
but they would not. I went to one of our directors
at Woolwich and told him of it, and he directed me
to give them into custody if they played any more,
and I did so.

Mr. YARDLEY—The directors had no music in their
souls ? Witness—l don't know, Sir.
Mr. YARDLEY—Was anybody ill on board ? Wit-
ness—No one, Sir, that I know of.
Mr. YARDLEY—No one affected with a nervous
complaint ? Witness—No, Sir, not at all.
Mr. YARDLEY—I should like to hear under what
Act of Parliament these men were given into custody
for playing music on board a steamer. Witness—l
am sure I don't know. The directors told me to
do so.
Mr. YARDLEY—Never mind the directors. My
impression is that you are liable to an action at the
suit of each of these men for false imprisonment. The
defendants are discharged. Who on earth could have
been so foolish as to take these men into custody ?
Tuckey, a Thames police-constable, 43, said the
musicians came voluntarily to the station-house.
Mr. YARDLEY said the musicians had no cause to
complain if they had voluntarily given themselves
into custody, but it was exceedingly absurd for any
police inspector to take such a charge. It was no
crime to play music on board a steam-boat—it could
not be treated criminally ; but if the parties played
music in opposition to the wishes of the captain, and
against his orders, they could be treated as trespassers.
The captain and crew would have a right to turn
them out, using no more force than was necessary.
The musicians thanked the magistrate, and left the
court.

WANDSWORTH.
John Willis, Joseph Ridd, and Jane Morris, were
brought up on a remanded charge of uttering coun-
terfeit coin, and of committing two outrageous and
brutal assaults.

Mr. Herring, son of the late superintendent of the
II division, has recently opened a beershop in Foley-
place, Wandsworth-road. Oa Saturday night, about
a quarter to ten o'clock, the prisoner Ridd, whom he
had long known as a confirmed smasher, came into
his house and called for a pint of porter. Herring
was at that time in the bar parlour; and having recog-
nised Ridd, he cautioned his wife to be careful, if he
tendered any silver in payment. Ridd tendered, as
he had suspected, a shilling, and it proved to be bad,
and the witness determined on detaining Ridd and
his accomplice Willis, who came in with him, till he
got a constable, and closed the door. On two pre-
vious occasions, Ridd had passed upon him, at
another house that he kept, a counterfeit five-
shilling piece and a base half-crown. At this time,
and during the struggles of the two men to get
away, the woman came to the door, knocked at
it, and asked for a pint of beer, at the same time
inquiring what the men were detained there for.
Witness then called a man named Mark Powell, who
was in the tap-room, to assist him in securing Willis,
and he did so. The prisoner Ridd then struggled
with him into the road, grasped him by the throat so
as almost to strangle him, and placing his leg between ,
his, threw him with immense force to the ground, I
saying, " you I'll do for you:' and he then
made his eictv, but rin into a policeman's arms..
Witness himself had had Ridd twice in custody on
charges of smashing.
In answer to an inquiry from Mr. BEA.DoN, police-

man Cotterman said he had waited upon the Solicuue
to the Mint, and represented the case to him, but b
stated it was one he should not prosecute.
