POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL)

BOW-STREET.

DISTURBANCE IN THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—TWO men
named Ballard and Frampton were placed at the bar
charged with creating a disturbance in the Adelphi Theatre
last night.

Police-constable 581 A said, in the early part of last even-
ing he was on duty in the Adelphi Theatre, and was called
upon to quell a disturbance in the gallery. On proceeding
to that part of the house he found the two defendants quar-
relling with some other persons about their seats. He told
them they must not interrupt the performance, and that if
they did not remain quiet he should remove them. Framp-
ton told him they had come to the Theatre to amuse them-
selves, and they should do whatever they pleased. The
disturbance continued so much that the performance was
interrupted, and then in consequence of loud cries of " Turn
him out," he attempted to remove the two men. Ballard
did not offer so much resistance as Frampton, but after
some difficulty both were taken out of the gallery, when
Frampton commenced fighting. Assistance had to be ob-
tained to convey him to the station, but Ballard offered no
resistance. Both of the men v ere drunk.

Ballard—You never put me out at all ; I came out.
Policeman—That is not true. I got you out first, and
'hen I went back for Frampton. _ _

Mr. Henry (to the prisoner)—Were you drunk or sober ?
Ballard—Well, I was not drunk.
Frampton—Neither was I. I certainly had been having
a drop, but not enough to take effect on me.
Mr. Henry—Then neither of you were either drunk or
sober. Is that so ?

Ballard—l was certainly Not drunk, but I had had some-
thing, so I can't say I was sober. The policeman talks
about taking me into custody. Why, I was never taken
into custody at all until I was standing opposite the
station-house door in Bow-street, when one of the police-
men lugged me in.

Frampton—When we went into the theatre with some
female relatives and friends last night we found the place
quite full. We then began talking about going to some
other part of the house or else trying to get our money
back, when some one said, " Turn him out." With that
the policeman came in and violently dragged me out and
pushed me down stairs, in doing which I received very
great injury. The policeman says I struck him ; now, as I
can show the marks where he struck me, I should like him
to show his marks.

Mr. Henry—lt is very annoying for hundreds of re-
spectable persons to be disturbed by drunken people.
Frampton—Well, but we were not drunk.
Mr. Henry—Both of you admit that you were not sober.
It is always a very difficult thing to convince a man next
morning that he was tipsy the night before.
Frampton—l was not drunk. The policeman says I in-
terrupted and stopped the performance. Now, I refer to
Mr. Webster whether the play was stopped. I never did
any such thing. The house was full, and I wanted to get
a place where I could see, or else get my money back.
Mr. Henry—l know very well drunken people don't
often converse in a low tone of voice. There cannot be a
doubt that the respectable part of the audience was very
much disturbed, but as I find iallard did not strike the
officer in the execution of his duty I shall only fine him ss.
for being drunk. Frampton must pay 20s. for creating the
disturbance and striking the officer.
The fines were paid.

STEALING FRUIT.-Two costermongers, named Lomas
and Martin, were placed at the bar charged with stealing a
sieve of currants from Mr. Almond, a salesman in Covent-
garden Market.

Dalton, one of the regular market porters, said the loss
the salesmen sustained by-robberies on market mornings
was enormous. The dishonest part of the costermengers
came there and stole the fruit, by which means they were
Irnabled to undersell every other poor fellow trying to get an
honest living. _ _

Mr. Henry (to the prisoners)—What do you do ?

Mr. Henry—And you come to the market to steal it. I
must try and stop this system of robbery. I commit you
both to prison for three months, with hard labour.
