MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 23.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and
a Bench of Magistrates.)
The Court sat this morning for the purpose of dis-
posing of bail cases.

2ROSECUTION BY THE COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND RE
VENUE FOR AN ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER.

John Goldamid, of 29, Mecklenburgh square, a
member of the Stock Exchange and of an extensive
firm in the City, surrendered in discharge of his bail,
to meet the charge of an assault upon Mr. George
Treveman, an officer of the Inland Revenue depart-
ment, whilst in the discharge of bis duty.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Parry prosecuted at the suit
of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue; Mr. Bud-
kin for the defendant.

Dr. Bateman, solicitor to the Board, and Mr. D uelly,
of the Inland Revenue department, were also in
attendance. The case has excited cousideraqle inte-
rest in consequence of the defence of an alibi being
set up by the defendant, in answer to the charge.
Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case for the prose-
cution, said that he was instructed to appear at the
suit of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, by
whom the proceedings had been instituted, for an
assault by the defendant, John Goldsmid, a member
of the Stock Exchange, and connected with a highly
respectable family residing in Mecklenburgh-square,
on the person of George Treveman, an officer of Ex-
cise, on the sth of October last. If the evidence that
be should lay before them should satisfy the jury, he
hod no doubt they would be of opinion that an offenee
committed on an officer whilst in the discharge of his
duty by a person moving in the sphere of life that the
defendant did, was most inexcusable, and, if proved,
should be visited with a severe punishment. The
Learned Counsel then detailed the facts of the case
as proved in evidence. The defendant, he said,
was represented by his Learned Friend Mr. Bod-
kin ; but still he thought it would require more
than ordinary ingenuity to rescue him from the
present charge. He believed that it would be at-
tempted to screen him from the consequence of the
act named in the information by throwing the onus
upon some other person whose whereabouts was no-
where to be found. A summons was obtained
and served at a house in question on the defendant,
but the observation that was made when that sum-
mons was delivered be was not at liberty to give,
though his Learned Friend might do so if he should
think proper. On the part of the Commissioners of
Inland Revenue he might say that they had no other
feeling in the matter but to obtain justice against the
defendant, should it be proved, of which he had no
doubt whatever, that he was the person who com-
mitted the assault.

Evidence was then given to show that the prose-
cutor was assaulted by the defend at a public-house in
the Haymarket, on the sth of October last.
The defence set up was, that at the time named
the defendant was at Brighton with his friends ; but,
upon the cross•examination of the witnesses, their
testimony was considerably shaken on certain material
points.
Mr. CLARKSON then replied, and inveighed in very
severe terms on the character of the evidence that had
been brought forward on the part of the defence,
which he characterised as utterly unworthy of credit.
The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with
great care, and pointed out the bearings of it as ha
proceeded.
The jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. PARRY said he was instructed, on thy part of
the Commissioner* of Inland Revenue, in consequence
of their having omitted to insert a count in the in-
dictment for interrupting the officer in the execution
of his duty, to ask for the highest punishment for the
assault.
The Learned JUDGE said that this was really the
most painful case he had ever heard, and commented
with the greatest severity on the wretched evidence
that had been brought forward on the part of the de-
fendant. lie could not think that the witness Win-
der was a man who ought to have control of a re-
spectable house, encouraging as he did persons to acts
of dissipation. He perfectly agreed with the verdict
of the jury, and the sentence of the Court was, that
the defendant be imprisoned in the House of Cor-
rection, Coldhath-fields, for three calendar months.

The defendant was then removed in custody, and
in a few minutes afterwards was conveyed to prison.
The trial occupied nearly seven hours.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

A middle-aged, respectabli:dressed man, named
Theophilus Smith, was brought up before Alderman
Hunter and Sheriff Carden, charged with obtaining
two pair of gold hand-spectacles, value about 61., from
Messrs. Horne, Thorntbwaite, and Co., opticians, of
123, Newgate-street, under fraudulent pretences.
Police-constable 498 said, he searched the prisoner
at the station, and found on him a great varietyof arti-
cles. (We give the list in full as it may probably
tend to induce others to come forward to prefer
charges against the prisoner, as there is every reason
to believe that he has been carrying on a systematic
course of swindling for some considerable time among
persons in the above line.) The following articles
were then banded up to the magistrates :-1 velvet
pocketbook, containing a variety of papers and me-
moranda, 2 other pocketbooks, 1 metallic memoran-
dum-book, 2 French purses, one containing ten pounds
in gold and about seven shillings in small silver, a
list of various articles of plate, a gold
watch with no maker's name, a bunch of 16 small
keys, and a safe-key, some opticians' catalogues, two
new office penknives, a gentleman's pocket compen-
dium, with the name of " Pepys, 22, Poultry," inside
'as the maker, one pair of steel-ribbed spectacles, with
the name of " William Youle, optician, 83, Leaden-
hall-street," on the case. In one of the pocket-books
there was about 2s. 6d. in postage-stamps, four cards
with the name of "Mr. W. Baker, surgeon," a letter
addressed " Dr. Baker, ship Soubandar, Deal Har-
bour," a letter addressed " Captain Umfreville, ship
Soubandar, Deal Harbour," a shaving-box, and some
tobacco, a receipt for 101. 10s. for rent of 33, Cam-
, bridge-street, fit. George's, Hanover-square; also a

receipt for taxes of the same house, both amounts
received of a Mr. Green ; and the namts and ad-
dresses of " Mr. T. M. Sheiley," "Mr. it. H v, of
BeEchynden-terrace, South,..aopton," "Mr. A. Key,"
anti "Mr. Ingram, of Ebury-streel,

William Daniel Pqe, rier at the Pak:-
dington district post-effice, was charged with steatiog
a letter containing two half- sovereigns, and two four-
penny -pieces.
The letter had been made up, with two others, and
addressed to Mr. Snewing, of 3, Althorp-place, Re-
gent's-park, with the view of testing the honesty of
the servants, a great many letters having been re-
cently lost by the inhabitants of the district, and es-
pecially by Mr. Snewing. The letters were posted at St.
Martin's-le-Grand, in the usual way, but the cash-letter
in question was not delivered. Inquiries were then
made at the sorting-office of the Paddington receiv-
ing-house, and nine of the letter-carriers and sub-
sorters were ►earthed, without avail. Eventually the
prisoner, who arrived late, underwent the same ordeal,
and the letter and its couttnts were found secreted
under the lining of his hat.
The prisoner said he bad placed the letter there for
safety, without any guilty intention, and meaning
ultimately to deliver it.
Mr. HALL committed him for trial.
W 0 if SHIP-Si REET.

Francis Morgan, an athletic, determined-looking
fellow of notorious character, was charged with the
following robbery upon a lady named Fruber, residing
in Britannia-terrace, City-road.
It appeared from the evid-nce of the prosecutrix
and that of a widow lady named Na'h, that after
spending the evening at the house of one of their
friends on the Surrey side of the water, they got into
a cab in the Blackfriars-road, between 11 and 12
o'clock, to proceed to the residence of the former lady,
which they had almost arrived at, when, observing
that the driver had turned down a wrong street, they

lowered one of the windows and apprised him of his
error. The cabman accordingly backed his horse, and
was in the act cf turning again into the road, when
the prisoner and two other men suddenly presented
themselves at the window of the vehicle, one of whom
hastily took off his hat, and flung it inside, while the
prisoner at the same moment opened the door, and
sprang in after it. The prosecutrix, although greatly
alarmed, immediately raised the cry of "Police," and
endeavoured to thrust out the man, who began strug-
ling with her, and, making a snatch at her boa,
dragged it off of her neck, and was in the act of re
' treating with his booty, when the end of the boa was
seized by the other lady, who held it fast, and after
another, but abortive effort, to secure it, the prisoner
relinquished his hold, and attempted to effect his es-
cape, but he was fortunately intercepted by a consta-
ble who was attracted to the spot by the screams of
the ladies, and taken into custody.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner stoutly pro-
tested his innocence, and said that both the ladies
were entirely mistaken in his identity ; but
Mr. HasimlLL intimated that he had no doubt
whatever as to the real facts of the case, and, ordering
the depositions to be at once taken, fully committed
the prisoner to Newgate for trial.
CLERKENW WE

Messrs. Sherrard, Smith, and Butler, late gover-
nors and directors of the poor of St. Andrew, Hol-
born, and St. George the Martyr, were summoned
under an information to show cause why they refused
to pay 651.165., alleged to have been applied by them
for purposes not applicable to the relief of the poor.
Mr. Pashley, the barrister, attended on the part of
the Poor-law Board, and Mr. Duncombe for the de-
fendants.
It appeared that on the occasion of the ill-treatment
of the pauper children in the establishment of Drouet,
at Tooting (+he particulars of which are no doubt in
the recollecrion of our readers), several of them died,
and a coroner's jury returned a verdict of "Man-
slaughter " against Drouet, the principal of the
establishment. The defendants were at that time
governors and directors of the poor, and under an
order from the Poor law Commissioners a prosecution
was instituted against Drouet. Mr. Mitchener, the
auditor appointed under the Act of Parliament, sub-
sequently audited the parish accounts, and after great
attention and a creful examination he came to a de-
cision that the above sum was misapplied, and be dis-
allowed it. He issued a certificate to that effect, in
which he gave his reasons, complying with the
statute, and called on the defendants to refund the
money alleged to have been misappropriated.
This day having been appointed for Mr. Tyrwhitt
to give his decision upon the matter, the court was
crowded to excess by the parish authorities, and con-
siderable interest was manifested.
Mr. Pashley addressed the bench at considerable
length on the part of the Poor-law Board, and said
that Messrs. Sherrard and Butler had acceded to the
claim made upon them, but Mr. Smith resisted ; and
he (Mr. Pa*hley) now claimed the decision of the
bench in favour of the auditor, Mr. Mitchener, and
urged that c, sts with the full amount should be al.
lowed. 26/. ss. was now claimed from Mr. Smith,
which had been paid to one James Duncombe, who
acted as solititor to the defendants.
Mr. Butler, one of the defendants, now pleaded
" Guilty" to the non-payment of 261.55.
Mr. Hale Mitchener proved the audit mentioned
in the information, and produced his certificate having
reference to the audit and surcharge of the defen-
dants; also the certificate of the treasurer as to the
non-payment of 261. 5.. with reference to Mr. Smith.
John Hardy, 205 S, the warrant officer of this
court, proved the service of the summonses on the de-
fendants.
Mr. Parish, one of the late governors and directors,
identified the defendants. Heard Mr. Sherrard and
Mr. Butler say they were ready to withdraw their
plea of " Not Guilty."
Mr. Samuel Stripling proved having served a dupli-
cate of the notice (now produced) on the parties.
Mr. Charles Schofield, clerk in the London and
Westminster Bank, deposed that the governor and
directors of St. Andrew's, Holborn, banked at that
establishment. The cheque for 651. 16s. was cashed
by him in March, 1849, and that item was inserted
in the book of that date. Had no recollection of pay-
ing any other cheque for 651. 16s. signed by three of
the governors and directors of the pariah of St. An-
drew, Holborn.
Mr. Pashley wished it to be understood that there
was no intention to cast any imputations on the de-
fendants.
Mr. Duncombe, in a lengthened address, urged
that his clients were not bound to pay the sum
claimed from them ; it had been expended in an
assessment of the parish. He contended that they
ought not to have been brought into that court under
the circumstances, and, if an order was made, that
costs ought not to be inflicted upon them. Mr. Mit-
chener was quite safe, as he would be allowed the
whole of his costs, and he must say that the Poor-
law Board and he (Mr. Mitchener), their representa-
tive, did not appear in that court with clean bands.
Mr. TraWHITT said he must make the order for
payment of the sum claimed, but he wished for time
to consider as to the costs.
Mr. Pashley would not urge for the whole of the
costs, but he would press for a reasonable amount.
He would have the bill taxed by the Master in a re-
Ruler and legal way, and propose that half the costs
should be paid, and this be did in a liberal spirit, and
if they did not agree to this, he would press tor the
whole of the costs, for the attendance of witnesses,
counsel, &c.
Mr. TTRWIIITT said, that this proposal ought to be
considered by the defendants. He made the order,
and said he would give his decision as to the costs on
Thursday next.

The particulars of this case have already been fully
detailed, and the following additional evidence was
now heard.
Mr. S. T. Rowe, a surgeon, stated that he bad
made a post snortem examination of the body of the
deceased, and found that a bullet had penetrated the
heart, which was the cause of death. The ball en-
tered on the right side below the nipple of the breast,
took an oblique direction, and in its course carried
away the cartilage of the rib. He had no doubt the
shot was fired from an elevation.
Mr. Richard Stapp, a gunmaker, said be bad made
some experiments with a gun found in the prisoner's
lodgings in London-street, Ratcliff, and fired it with
a ball of the
same size as that taken from the de-
ceased's heart. He found that the gun, with about a
drachm and a half or two drachms of gunpowder, would
carry a shot more than 250 yards. He fired at a
wooden target 250 yards distance, and the ball went
past it and raked up the grass.
Police sergeant Squire, No. 14 K, stated that he
had measured the distance from the prisoner's yard or
garden where he fired the gun to the deck of the
Lively, where the deceased was shot, and it was exactly
244 yards.
Jane Carries said that she lived in the same house
as the prisoner, arid that on the day the deceased was
shot she saw him with a gun in his hand, and heard a
report as if it bad been fired off.
Police- sergeant Squire said that there was a Mr.
Lucas and other witnesses in attendance who could
speak to their having frequently remonstrated with
the prisoner on the impropriety of his firing off a gun
in such a crowded neighbourhood.
A man, who was very boisterous, here expressed a
wish to be examined for the prosecution, and said he
was quite certain the gun used by the prisoner would
not carry a ball so far as was represented. It appeared
that be could state no reason for coming to such a
conclusion, and his testimony was dispensed with.
Mr. Pelham, who attended for the prisoner, and
who started many curious objections iu his cross-exa-

mination of the witnesses, said that a man who wd
exatnitied before the coroner stated 'hat snots wets
fired from various directions on the ray the unfortu-
nate m,in met with tils death. Itr wn. quite sure It
would he to ~ut h co,,..;:ructive ev''
Bence ibut t P sh t. fired tie the p;.i..o::er viai the oDe
which killed the duceased.
Mr. INGHAM 6id. not knew that. He wanted 5
withers who could identity the report of a. gun at rill!
back of London-street, win-re the prisoner lived, Wit"
the fall of the man who was shot.
Squire said he was not prepared with that evidence
at present, but the mate of the Lively, who sacv the,
deceased fall, and who was only two or three fee'
from him at the time, was present.
The mate of the Lively was recalled, and he merell
breast s on
repeated what he had before stated; that he
deck, when he saw deceased put hisi rid to hisil
and exclaim, " Oh, my God, I an. allot!" and
ot.,
,
re
d..ad immediately afterwards. He heard the p
of a gun, but he could not say in what direction the
shot came
Mr. INGHAM said, the police must endeavour
.to_
bring forward some witnesses who could identify to,a,
report of the gun fired by the prisoner with the fa,"
of the deceased. He should again remand the Pry
soner on bail, until to-morrow (this day).
Mr. Pelham said. that although the coroner's:l°4
had re urned a verdict of manslaughter against the
prisoner, the coroner, who had some doubts about .
case, had very properly and very
the officer who held the warrant of committal not
execute it until after the examination before them r
gistrate, and he did so for two reasons. The cornt%
did not wish his jurisdiction to clash with that of no
magistrate ; and, secondly, he was desirous that t
prisoner and his sureties should not forfeit the reel;
nisances they had entered into, which would 111/1
been the case if the warrant had been executed direc this
the verdict was returned. He had now to requmst
feelingly directetdo
nt
magistrate to direct the officer who held the svarare„4
not to execute it until his Worship had given hi6'
decision in the case. tb the
Mr. INGHAM said he could not interfere fir
execution of the coroner's warrant. He was n° bad
tisfied that all the evidence that could be given
been given, and he had therefore remanded the Pay
soner on the same terms as before ; and was now re'
to take bail for him, if he was prepared with it• fore

Mr. INGHAM—If be does not appear here tolee
