NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
The Court was engaged the whole of the morning, trying
Mint cases, none of which presented any feature of public
interest.

MARLBRO'-STREE r-(I'HIS DAY.)
THE SOCIETY OF INTERPRETEAS.—IMPORTANT DECISION.
—A Frenchman named- Corquin, residing at No. 31, Lisle-
street, hoho, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for using
threatening and abusive language towards Mr. C. Benzoni,
17, Duke-street, St. James's, late secretary to the Society of
Interpreters.
Mr. Fisher, from the office of Mr. Dod. 16, Great Marl-
borough-street, appeared for the complainant, and stated
that this was a summons granted by Mr. Bingham fur an
assault. Complainant had, however, no desire to press the
charge; the otject was merely to protect him from the an-
noyances to which he was frequently subjected. Mr. Ben-
zoni had been secretary to a society called the Society of In-
terpreters • he had exerted him& lf most successfully in its for-
mation, and had devoted much time and great attention to its
interests, but owing to the conduct ofcertain parties Mr.Benzoni
had recently resigned the office, his resignation had been duly
announced, and his solicitor had, on his behalf, signified his
readiness to render his accounts, which would show the so-
ciety indebted to him in a small balance. An impression,
however, had been created (most erroneously) that Mr.
I Benz mi was indebted to the society, and in consequence the
complainant had been continually annoyed by the +efendant
and other members, demanding of him in no very courteous
tetras the return of their subscriptions. Mr. Benzuni had
been sued in the County Court by one of the members, and
it had been there decided that he was in no way liable; but
the defendant and others, dissatisfied and nut duly impressed
with the non-liability of complainant, were disposed to in-
sult him on all occasions. Mr. Fisher said he was desirous
only That defendant should enter into his own recognizance
nut to repeat the insult and threat he had been guilty of.
Mr. HARD WICK said he must do so.
The defendant said, as far as he was concerned he would;
but there were 85 members who would still insult the com-
plainant whenever they met him.
Mr. HARDWICK said, if they did the whole 85 must go to
prison. If the complainant was indebted to the society
the're was a proper course to pursue to bring him to au ac-
count. Mr. Hardwick then bound the defendant over in 401.
to keep the peace for three months.
Montague GabriellVewton, a young gentleman residing at
33, Woburn-place, Russell-square, was charged with being
drunk and creating a disturbance at Mr. Genese's, 125,
Jermyn-street.
Mr. Genese stated that about five o'clock this morning
the defendant came into his house in a state of intoxica-
tion, and created a great noise and disturbance, to the great
annoyance of the customers. Witness requested him to
leave the house, and on his refusing to do so, he sent for a
constable and gave him in charge.
The defendant stoutly denied the charge, and could, if
time was allowed him, bring forward witnesses to prove that
he was quite sober.
Lester, 142 C, proved that the defendant was very (hunk
when lie took him in charge.
The defendant was fined the usual drunkard's fine of ss.

A CAPTAIN IN THE GUARDS COMMITTED TO THE
HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—Captain Paulet Henry Somerset,
of the Coldstream Guards, was yesterday committed by Mr.
Hardwick, the Marlborough-street magistrate, for ten days
to the House of Correction, for having horsewhipped Police-
constable Griffin, while stationed at the Great Exhibition.
The prisoner, who was driving a phaeton and pair, violated
the regulations issued by the Police Commissioners with re-
gard to carriages, and when remonstrated with by Griffin,
struck the officer several times across the face with his whip,
so violently as to draw blood, and then drove off at a rapid
pace, but was afterwards stopped. His excuse was that he
had not been treated with that civility that a gentleman had
a right to expect. The gallant Captain seemed in a state of
most uncomfortable bewilderment as he was led off to the
lock-up cell.
