jury he had received, however, the eon table kept bold
of the prisoner, end eventually succeeded in lodgiog him
in the station-house.

Several respeotable.wituesses wero called by the pri-
soner to speak to his character, and they all spoke of him
as an honest, hardworking, and humane lad.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty. _

Buren ALDERSON. in passing rentenco, said this was
annther instance of the.policeman being brutally as-
saulted while in &ha performance of his duty, and the
Court had hesitated for a long time whether it ought
not to sentence the prisoner to transportation. Nothing
but his good character bad saved him, from a sentence of
that description, but he must still expect to undergo
severe punishment. Hp then sentenced him to be kept
to hard labour for a year.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
John Frederick Still, 34, clerk, was indicted for em-
bezating the sums of 41. 65., 11., and 11., the property
of the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company, his
masters.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. BODJKIN, who appeared for the company, said they
wished to recommend the prisoner to mercy, as they be-
lieved the company the prisoner had fallen into had led
him into this offence.
He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and
herd labour.
William Edward Webstcr, who yesterday pleaded.
guilty to embezz'ing several sums of money from
his master, Mr. E. Cardwell,,M.P., was brought up for
sentence.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the pri-
soner had very properly pleaded guilty to the. offence
of embezzling sums entrusted to him by his master. He
had, however, been recommended to mercy; in con-
sequence of that the term of imprisonment to which
he should sentence him would be short; but even that, to
a man who had tilled the respectable position he had,
would fall much heavier on him than on a person
who had not been so well circumstanced. As
butler to the gentleman he had lived so many
years nigh, it was doubly his duty to protect his master's
interests rather than abuse the trust placed in him. He
found, on referring to the depositions, that the cause of
this dishonesty had arisen from some betting transac-
tions with which the priioner had got mixed up. Bet-
sing on horseracing, he was sorry to say, was becoming
more and more prevalent, most especially among do-
mestic servants; and he would warn them against in-
dulging in such practices, a's they were sure to bring
them into disgrace.
The prisoner was then sentenced to three mcink,i'
prisonment and hard labour.

THIRD COURT:
(adore the CoMMON•SERGEANT.)
William Dudley, 40, upholstear, was indicted fur em-
bezzlement. _ _ _

The priSoner, a most rotpectable looking MA plead( d
not guilty. '
Me. Metcal?proecated, and Mr. Payne defended.
Mr. Farebrother, of New Millman•steeet, Brunswick-
equare, proved having paid to prisoner on the 24th of
March the'sum of 5/. 10s.; Mr. Thomas Wylde of the
Rose Inn, Old Bailey, on the Bth of March, 3/. 198. 6d.;
and Mr. Gooch, of the Bull Inn, Old Bailey, 2/.
The prosecutor, Mr. William Kirby, of 60, Old
Bailey, upholsterer, said that the prisoner bad been
three years in his service, and had 18s. a week, and a
per centage on what be sold. Witness had two busi-
nesses, the one named, and the other at Westminster,
and the one in the City was that at which the prisoner
was principally engaged. Witness had discharged him
for having sent away to his own house a chest of drawers
and a carpet. He then told him that he had been
robbing him, but, in consequence of prisoner appealing
to him on behalf of his wife and Child
him into custody to an officer who W'9,9 then present, hut
tmtvequently finding out that he had been plunflrred to

„ ebb, 258, City police, said, that when he appre-
....nded the prisoner, which he did on the 15th of
April,•at his own house, in Hatfield-street, ho said he
was sorry for what had cecurred, and bad sent and
offered part of the money, which Mr. Kirby would not
accept.
Mr. PAYNE then addressed the jury.
They returned a verdict of Guilty.
A former conviction was proved against the prisoner
in 1841, when he .was tried and convicted in this court
for embezzlement, and transported for eeven years.
The' prosecutor in that case, a baker in the Strand,
and who came up to prove the conviction, said the pri-
soner was then in his service, and that after his convic-
tion, in consideration of his wife and child, he (the pro-
secutor) had ineenorlaliaed Government, and got his sen-
tepee commuted to a short period of impiisonment.
He was sentenced to seven years transportation.
Edward Thomas, the clerk who yesterday pleaded
guilty to stealing a quantity of diamonds, was
brought ep for sentence..
Several witnesses having spoken highly of bis pre-
vious character, judgment was respited until next session.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Mason, a Spanish merchant of the City, appoared
before the sitting magistrate, in company with several
Spanish gentlemen, to ask his advice and esidstanee in
enforcing a contract which the complainants had made
with a company in Madrid to bring them to London to
see the Great Exhibition, providing them with board,
lodging, and other necessaries, a carriage, and defraying
the expenses of their visits to the various sights, and to
the Opera, and, after staying ten days in London, to take
them back to Madrid by way of Paris, remaining there
eight days, and, eating them to all the entertainments
as in London. The charge was 501. per head. The
contract stated that the accommodation should be of the
beat description, and that a box at the Opera should be
engaged for their use. They complained that the con-
tract was being broken in various ways, chiefly by put-
ting them into the gallery at the Opera instead of the
boxes, and not providing the carriage until twelve o'clock
at noon, when the day was half gone.
Alderman SALomoNs inquired if there was any com-
plaint as to the hoard and lodging.
Mr. Mason said they had no complaint on that seore,
for they were very comfortably provided for in a board-
ing-house at 23, Woburn-p'ace, but the gentlemen were
undisr the imprvsion that the parties were about to
abandon the contract altogether, and to leave them to
find their way back to Madrid as they bast could, and he
trusted, as there were so many foreigners in Landon,
that the magistrates would protect them from such
treatment.
Alderman SALOMONS asked if the contract had been
made with an English company.
Mr. Mason said it had not; it was composed entirely
of Spaniards. There was an agent in London, who was
acting under the direction of a member of the company,
of the name of Saavedra, who is at present in Paris.
Alderman SALOMONS said, ho was very glad they were
not Englishmen, as it would have reflected great dis-
grace on this country at such a time. He could have no
jurisdiction over the case where the contract was made
in another country. With respect to the breaches of
contract which had already taken place, he was of opi-
nion the only redress that could be obtained would be a
suit at Madrid for the recovery of the money they had
paid. At the same time, Mr. Mason might mention to
the agent that the matter had been brought under the
notice of the magistrate, and that he recommended him
to carry out the contract. There was very little doubt
that all the magistrates of London would assist each
other in affording every protection to foreigners coming
to this country to see the Exhibition, as far as their
power would allow.
Mr. Mason then thanked the Alderman for the atten-
tion he had given him, on behalf of the gentlemen accom-
panying him, and retired.
