previous night, and after sitting there some time were asked
by one of the waiters whether they would take any refresh-
ment. At first they said they would take some stout, and
on being asked, as usual, for the money in advance refused
to give it. They then called for some coffee, and on its being
brought and told it was 6d. a cup, they refused to have it.
They were then told by the waiter that they must leave,
when they became very violent, the prisoner Parker break-
ing several flower pots, and tearing the waiter's coat.
Amand Fontaine, waiter at the cafe, confirmed the pre-
vious evidence, and produced his coat, which was torn com-
pletely in two. He also said the prisoners were asked to
leave the room quietly, it being seen they had been drink-
ing. In his violence Parker broke several flower pots.
Parker said they were asked Gd. a cup for coffee, and re-
fused to pay it.

Mr. Beadon said if they went into the place they must
pay what was asked.

A witness named Pearce was called, but his evidence was
not material to the prisoners.

Roach was discharged, and Parker ordered to pay 125.,
the value of the pots, and 75., the damage to the waiter's
coat.

Immediately after Parker left the court, and while on the
landing, one of the officers having requested him to take off
his hat, which he had put on before he left the dock, he
became very violent, and on Bendall, the assistant gaoler of
the court, attempting to remove him, he gave him a severe
blow in the face ; and on being brought back and placed
before Mr. Beadon, the assault was proved by Bendall and
Shillingford, one of the summoning officers of the Court,
Mr. Beadon asked him what he had to say to assaulting
the officer
The prisoner said he did nothing of the kind.

Mr. Beadon said he would teach him and others that they
must not assault the crficers of the Court in the perform-
ance of their duty, and committed him for a month.

THAMES.

A NUISANCE IN BROMLEY.—A gentleman, whose
name did not transpire, came before Mr. Selfe this morn-
ing, and stated that in 1843 he erected five substantial
brick-built residences and offices in Bromley, near the St.
Leonards-road, and let them to very respectable tenants.
There was no factory or nuisance near the place when the
premises were erected, but soon afterwards saw-mills
were Constructed near his property, and a steam engine,
with machinery, erected. The oscillation of the engine
was a great nuisance, and the furnace attached had no
smoke-consuming apparatus. The consequence -was that
the property had become greatly depreciated, and he was
in danger of losing all his tenants.

Mr. Selfe said that if the property of the applicant was
injured by the erection of the saw-mills and engine there
was a legal remedy, and with regard fo the smoke nuisance
recourse must be had to the proper authorities, who would
put the law in motion.

Inspector Beare, of the K division, said that Mr. Party,
the proprietor of the saw-mills in question, had beenrecently
fined £5 for not using a smoke-consuming apparatus, and the
place was now under the observation of the police.
The applicant wished the magistrate to give Lim advice
on the subject.

Mr. Selfe must decline to be the unpaid adviser of people
who could afford to pay a solicitor.
The applicant said he had already consulted three solici-
tors, and among them Messrs Baker, of Crosby-square, who
had entered into negotiations with Mr. Varty to induce
him to purchase the property, but without effect, and he
was, as a last resource, advised to apply to the magistrate.
Mr. Selfe—l wish you had not been advised to do that.
You must consult your solicitor again, and speak to the po-
lice about the smoke nuisance.

CAUTION TO FATHERS OF ILLEGITIMATE

Frederick Thomas Elgood, an accountant, of St. Dun-
stan's-hill, Lower Thames-street, and formerly connected
with the firm of Anthony Gibbs and Son, the eminent pro-
vision merchants, was brought up on a warrant charged
with refusing to obey an order of affiliation made upon him
for the support of a bastard child.
Ellen Daly, a young woman, produced the magistrate's
order for the payment by the defendant of 2s. Gd. per week
for the support of his bastard child. There was now eight
weeks in arrear.
Mr. Selfe—He owes Ll
Complainant—Yes, sir, he owes me £l.

Howland, an officer of the court, 89 H, said he had held
the warrant since the 14th of last month. He had been 10
or 12 times to the defendant's residence and offices, but he
continually evaded capture, although people were set to
watch his dwelling all night.
• Taplin, another officer of the court, No. 234 K, said that
he captured the prisoner on Friday night, and supposing
him to be a gentleman, took his word to attend the court on
Saturday, but he never came.

The defendant said he gave himself up to Howland this
morning, and the reason he did not attend on Saturday was
that he was trying to raise the money to pay the demand,
but was unable to do so.
Mr. Selfe—Where do you live ?
