LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

'Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Willes,

Byles, and Smith.
MISS FRAY AGAIN AND THE SHERIFF OFFICERS.

Miss Fray rose at the conclusion of the motions
in this court, and said—l have a motion to make,
my lord, in the case of Owens v. Fray, relative to
the conduct of a solicitor named Sadler. I forgot
to mention last night the honourable conduct of the
judges here, especially to mention that of the late
Lord Chief Justice.

The Lord Chief Justice—What dues your motion
•elate to, Miss Fray ?

Miss Fray—l want a rule to compel this man
Sadler to show cause why he shoull not answer to
this court, of which he is an officer, for unprofes-
sional conduct. I will enter into the pith of the
matter directly, but I must first enter into
the conduct of the sheriff officers, and a lot of men,
I don't know what they can be called ; they are
worse than Fenians. (Laughter.) There is nothing
to laugh at. They want to kill me as they did my
father. It is cruel to laugh. lam quite unfit to
speak to-day, and I think it unfair to attempt to
intimidate me. It is not because lam crushed that
I am to be treated in this way.

The Lord Chief Justice—The Court cannot help
some little laughter amongst the bystanders.
Come to the point, Miss Fray.

Miss Fray—Well, my lord, in the first place, the
defendants taxed my costs behind my back. This
was honourable conduct. The case was tried on
the 10th of July, and I remained in town till the
19th August. I then went to stay in Shrop..
shire, and then to my mother's house in Mon-
mouthshire, where I remained till Friday last,
and the defendants well knew that I was there.
When I was busy in Chancery-lane on Saturday I
was arrested by a shariff's officer named Chapman,
who said that if I went_ with him to Lumley's I
could remain until I could send to my friends and
pay the money. After I got there I was some time
before the man there would let me have a messen-
ger. At last I got a boy, and he returned and said
ho had seen my eldest brother, and he would
come directly. Before he arrived the officers
insisted upon my going to Whitecross-street.
I remonstrated with them about it, and
offered to pay twice the money, and some ladies
and gentlemen who were staying there implored
that I might remain. This was not allowed, and
then I was treated very cruelly. They dragged me
downstairs, and so tore me about that I am almost
black and blue, and also tore my clothes, which are
worth some pounds. I was just on the point of
getting over au attack of congestion on the brain,
and thisi are certificates from an eminent man.
I was then taken into a dark recess, and finally
forcibly removed to Ilorsernonger-lane Gaol.
My friends, however, did get in, and saw the state
I was in. They tendered more than the amount on
Monday. It was arranged on Saturday that I
should be got out ou Monday. To say nothing
about my health, a most important business has
been ruined through it. My friends tendered more
than the amount, but the solicitor would not take
it, and kept me full five hours, as well as putting
my friends to great inconvenience.
The Lord Chief Justice —lt is not your own
solicitor, then, against whom you are speaking ?
Miss Fray—No, my lord ; I conducted the case
in person.

The Lord Chief Justice—ls that your own
affidavit you are reading from, or some one else's ?
Miss Fray—l have no affidavit, but I can get
those of my own and my broker's and my lady
friends.

The Lord Chief Justice—The Court cannot
allow you to make a statement without it is on
affidavit—that is the practice of the Court.
Miss Fray—l will get the affidavits drawn up
and presented on the next motion day—that will
be next Tuesday.
The Lord Chief Justice—Then there is a pro-
bability that they will not be irrelevant.
Miss Fray—All I have stated is true, my lord.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SPEEDY RETURN TO PRISON.—EIIen Coleman,
a woman who has spent a large portion of her life
iu prison, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with
being druuk and behaving in a refractory manner
at St. James's Workhouse.

Bradley, the porter of St. James's Workhouse,
said yesterday afternoon the prisoner came to the
workhouse. She was drunk and demanded to be
admitted, and made use of much bad language, and
behaved in such a refractory manner that he was
compelled to give her into custody. On the 4th of
last month she was committed one month for a suni-
lar offence.

Prisoner—Forgive me. I have only just come out
of prison, after being there a month.
Inspector Harrison—We were obliged to have a
doctor to the prisoner last night, as she had a fit.
Prisoner—Forgive me. I had a fit.

Mr. Knox—lf you persist in gin drinking you
will have fits and die a miserable death. You are
never out of the hands of the police, and you are
the greatest drunkard in existence. You will be
fined 40s. or a month as a drunk and disorderly
person, and by going to prison you will be taken
care of if you have fits.

The prisoner (as she was leaving the court) said
"I will make away with myself."

WESTMINSTER.

A FALSE ALARM.--Charles Dickens, in the
trowsers and shirt of a soldier, was charged on his
own confession with being a deserter from the 6th
Regiment.

Police-constable Clark, 47 B, said about half-
past 7 on Friday evening the prisoner came to the
Westminster station and said he wished to give
himself up as a deserter from the 6th Regiment of
Foot. He was asked if he was on furlough, and he
said he was a deserter 7 days. lie was drunk.
Prisoner—l only had a little drink.
Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by your conduct?
Prisoner —I am not a deserter.

Mr. Selfe—Theu you are a rogue and vagabond,
for such the law denominates those who give them•
selves up as deserters when they aro not. I don'
mean that as abuse, but the words of the Act o
Parliament say so.

Prisoner—l didn'tknow where to go to) so I came
to the station to be taken care of.
Mr. Selfe—You describe yourself as a clerk.
Inspector Humphreys—He said he was orderly
clerk.

Mr. Selfe —I rather think he was a disorderly
clerk, but if he wants to be taken care of I will take
•
care of him-

Constable Clark—He has military trousers and
shirt on.

Prisoner, who now assumed a more serious air,
said—l came from Edinburgh on furlough, and
having lost my money and furlough I did not
know what to do, and I came to the station. lam
not a deserter.

Mr. Selfe—Where is the military coat that you
wore ?

Prisoner—l left my coat at my sister's in Drury.
lane. I don't know her name. The number is 26

Mr. Humphreys—He gave another address—

Prisoner—l hope you won't remand me.
did it because I had nowhere to go.
Mr. St;lfe—l shall certainly remand you.
Prisoner—l hope, not.. I shall get into trouble i
you do.

I only

Mr, Selfe—l shall remand you till Friday nex

for inquiries.

THAMES.
MR. PAGET AND OUTRAGES ON TIIE POLICE.—
Patrick Flinn, a rough Irishman, about 40 years of
age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with
violently assaulting John Kent, 341 K, and llerbert
Butt, 62 K.

Last night, at a late hour, Kent was called upon
to take a drunken and disorderly woman, who had
broken four panes of glass with a hammer. Kent
arrested the woman, and took the hammer from
her. Kent was conducting his prisoner to the station-
house when the prisoner accosted him, and in a

b oisterous manner said, " Let her go." Kent told
him to mind his own business, on which the prisoner
made use of very foul language, and after taking the
hammer from the constable made a blow at his
head with it. Kent parried the blow on his head
by his activity, and it fell on his shoulder. A
struggle ensued, and the woman escaped. Kent
took his truncheon from his pocket, and warned the
prisoner, but did not use the stick. Butt, a ser-
geant, came to the assistance of Kcut, and the pri-
soner struck him repeatedly and made several at-
tempts to throw him. The prisoner, who gave
much trouble to the police, was secured.
Mr. Paget, after hearing that the prisoner had
beau in custody before, intimated to the prisoner
and all persons disposed to attack the police in the
execution of their duty or to assault them in any
way that they were liable on conviction by a jury
to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. If he
thought fit he could send the prisoner for trial. A
most dangerous weapon had been used. The pri-
soner struck at the constable's head with a hammer
it would have taken effect but for the officer's acti-
vity. lie could not help commending the forbearance
of Kent, who drew his truncheon, but did not use it,
which he would have been justified i❑ doing. For-
tunately neither of the constables were seriously
injared. That circumstance induced him to decide
the case summarily. Ile considered it was his duty
and the duty of all magistrates to protect the police,
who had dangerous duties to perform. Kent had
shown great discretion and groat forbearance in a
very turbulent locality. If it was in his (the ma-
gistrate's) power he should inflict a more severe
sentence than the one he was about to pass, and
which was quite inadequate for the offence. lie
sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprison-
ment and hard labour for one assault, and an addi-
tional two months' imprisonment and hard labour
for the
,other, the sentences to be consecutive, in
all four months' imprisonment and hard labour.
