MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A POLICE MISTAKE—Annie Myers, a respectably-
dressed young female, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with being a common prostitute and behaving in a dis-
orderly manner in Regent-street.
Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, of Great
Marlborough-street, appeared for the accused.
Middleton, 55 0, gave evidence to the effect that about
one yesterday morning he saw the accused in the Hay-
market (accompanied by another female) following gentle-
men and accosting them, and having seen her in the
Haymarket on a former occasion, he took her into custody.
In answer to Mr. Sayer, the witness said that ho was un-
able to say the night when he last saw the accused in
the Haymarket, but on that occasion the accused behaved
in a disorderly manner.

Another constable gave evidence of having seen the
accused in the Haymarket, but he could not say when.

Mr. Tyrwbitt said her evidence was very loose.
Mr. Sayer addressed the magistrate on behalf of the
accused, and said that she was a very respectable young
woman, and that there were no grounds for the accusation
against her of being a prostitute, she being a respectable
young woman living with her brother, who was employed
at large premises in Jermyn-street. The accused with
her brother had been to the theatre, and were waiting for a
cab, when the constable came and took hold of the accused
and took her into custody. Ho (Mr. Sayer) considered
that there was a great want of discrimination on the part►
of the police.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, while admitting that the police had a
troublesome duty to perform, said that ho had noticed that
there had been a good deal of indiscriminate seizing of
p,:rsons in the Haymarket of late, and he could not help
thinking that the police were rather too sharp. The ac-
cused ought never to have bean in custody, and she would
be discharged.

'DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ISLINGTON.--This morn-
ing, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, considerable
alarm was caused by the sudden outbreak of a fire on the
extensive premises of Mr. Brown, a carpenter, and Mr.
Wilcox, a pianoforte maker, in St. James's-street, Pack-
ington-street. The flames commenced from some unknown
cause in Mr. Brown's upper workshop, and in a very few
minutes raged with great fury. The Islington fire engine
was immediately on the spot, and, with an abundant sup-
ply of water, the firemen went to work i❑ an admirable
manner. Eventually the fire was subdued, but not until
the uppc r workshop and the roof was destroyed.
