inspector, and ordered the defendants to pay the
drunken fine of ss. each.
The defendant Jackson demanded the name of the
inspector, whom he threatened with an action for
false imprisonment, if it were to cost him 1001. _ _

Mr. HALLS said that in that case he should hold
the defendants to bail, and they were ordered to find
bail accordingly.
Mr. HALLS desired the inspector on duty to in-
quire into the conduct of the gaoler with respect to
the charge brought against him by the defendant
Jackson.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.
A tall pale-faced young man, of very slovenly
exterior, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS yester-
day, charged with having committed an assault upon
Macdonald, the constable belonging to the Haymar-
ket Theatre.

It will perhaps be recollected that the public was
a short time ago entertained with the exploits of a
gentleman named Calvert, whose friends are of
considerable respectability, who had conceived a
most outrageous passion for Miss Taylor, the clever
actress, then of Covent-garden Theatre, and now of
the Haymarket, which passion not meeting with a
suitable return, the disappointed anioroso resorted to
forcible measures to gain an interview with his ob.
durate charmer, and the result was that Miss Taylor
was compelled, in order to insure her personal com-
fort and safety, to put the gentleman into the bands
of an officer, by whom he was conveyed to Bow-
street police-office, and there compelled to provide
sureties for future good behavour in the amount
of 400/. The defendant in the present case is
the same individual, and his appearance at this
office was caused by a renewal of his efforts to gain
an interview with the still obdurate young lady.
Macdonald said that on Saturday evening the de-
fendant, who had ceased his annoyance for some
time, presented himself at the stage-door of the
theatre, for the purpose of soliciting an interview
with Miss Taylor, and, as his troublesome infatua-
tion was well known to the persons addressed, he
(witness) was requested to see him off the premises.
While endeavouring to effect this, in the mildest
manner possible, the defendant gave him a sudden
shove, which sent him sprawling on his back in the
mud, committing thereby disastrous havoc on a new
suit of clothes, which he was doing duty in. It
took two or three strong men to subdue the resist-
ance of the defendant, but he was ultimately over-
powered and lodged in the station-house.
The defendant, who appeared to talk and act
with the greatest rationality, accounted for the as-
sault by saying that Ile merely gave the complainant
a little push, in order to free himself from his grasp,
and that the fall in the mud which occurred was
occasioned by the constable's foot slipping.

Mr. CHAMBERS remarked that the defendant had,
by his absurd conduct, rendered himself liable to
the forfeiture of the recognizances in which he was
bound. He wished to know, provided he let him
depart, whether he would pledge his " honour as a
gentleman" not to go near the Haymarket Theatre,
for the purpose of annoying Miss Taylor, until the
house closed for the season.

Mr. Calvert appeared to hesitate at pledging his
honour, but said he had no objection to give his ho-
nour that he had no intention at that moment to
obtain an interview with Miss Taylor.
Macdovald mentioned to the Magistrate that Mr.
Calvert had made his appearance more than once
during the present season, and had broken his word
so often that no reliance could be placed upon his
mere verbal promise to keep away.
Mr. CHAMBERS said, as that was the case, he
should require him to find bail, two in 501. each,
and himself in 1001.

Some of the gentleman's friends, after be was
removed, came forward and informed Mr. Chambers
his infatuation on the subject of Miss Taylor was
so strong, that it was unlikely any one would come
forward again and become bail for him.
Mr. CHAMBERS then signed the commitment of
Mr. Calvert to the House of Correction, in lieu of
Tothill-fields, as in the former place the defendant
was likely to obtain more humane treatment and
comfort than in the latter.
MARY LEB ONE.

Horatio Spooner, a young man of respectable
appearance, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged
with having wilfully set fire to a hay-rick,

Richard Stewart, a boy fourteen years of age, on
the previous morning, about a quarter past eleven,
as he was walking along Kensal-green, saw the
prisoner and another man sitting down smoking by
a hay-rick, in a field belonging to Mr. Habgood. In
a short time they both got up and walked away,
prior to which the prisoner placed his pipe, which
was lighted, under the rick, and it soon after broke
out into a blaze.

Mr. RAWLINSON should call on the prisoner to
find good bail, to answer the charge at the sessions,
in the event of the prosecutor preferring an indict-
ment against him.
He was then conveyed to the lock-up-room.

Yesterday Charlotte Webb, one of the most dis-
orderly and desperate prostitutes about Westmin-
ster, who has been committed from this office above
a hundred times, was brought before Mr. GREGORIE,
charged with being drunk, riotous, and assaulting
the police in the public streets.
Mr. GREGORIE asked her what she had to say to
the charge ? Charlotte—l hope you will hear me.
I know nothing of the matter. I certainly had been
drinking, and the police constable tore all my
clothes off.

Mr. GREGORIE—It is a strange thing ; but you
are constantly here ? Charlotte—Oh no, your
Worship, I've not been here for some time : I have
got married.
Mr. GREGORIE—What ? Charlotte—Married.
I've been married these ten weeks, and am now an
honest woman. I hope you will let me off this time.
Mr. GREGORIE—Pray who is your husband ?
Charlotte—He is a sailor, your Worship, and a
nice, tidy young man he is; and we have got every-
thing comfortable, and I have got my bits of things
about me, what he has bought for me.
Mr. GREGORIE—Pray at what church did you
get married ? Charlotte—At Lambeth church,
your Worship. lam no prostitute now. This is
the first time I've been here since I've been married.
Mr. GREGORIE—You have been committed by me
above thirty times, lam certain. Charlotte—Lord
bless you, Mr. Gregorie, more than that. I've been
in prison for the last eight years, almost constantly,
—more than a hundred times, I should think. Do,

THAMES-P 0 LICE.

Yesterday a respectable woman, named Ann Na-
than, was brought before Mr. COMM, on a warrant
signed by Lord Chief Justice Denman, under very

odd circumstances.
On the warrant being placed in the hands of the
Magistrate, Mr. COIVIDE asked what charge there was
against the woman, and what she was brought
there for.
A policeman apprehended the woman on the
Judge's warrant, and she had been in custody since
Saturday night.
Mr. COMBE.—But why not take her before a
Judge—what have Ito do with it ?
A Jew, named Josephs, stepped forward, avd
said he was the prosecutor in the case, and a true
