MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A Want-iENowkr num—James Ryan,
19, a rough-looking fellow, was placed at the bar charged
on remand with stealing 7 brass valves and 19 brass
unions, value 31., the property of James Walby, iron
merohant, 59, Greek-street, Soho.
The prosecutor said he missed from his warehouse, on
the 30th ult., 4 parcels of brass fittings, which were safe
on the day previous. The articles produced were his
property, and a part of what he had missed. The
prisoner was an entire stranger to him.
Harriet Clark, of 24, Dudley-street, a marine store
dealer, said that on the 29th December, between six
and seven in the evening, the prisoner came to her
shop, and having asked whether she bought brass,
and she having answered in the affirmative, put the
articles produced in the scale. The prisoner said they
belonged to his father, who was giving up business.
He gave the name of Jones. They weighed 71b., and
she gave 6d. a-pound for them.
William Buck, a police-constable, said that on the
29th of December he took the prisoner into custody,
and told him he bad sold some brass articles. The
prisoner stoutly denied that ho had done so. There
were two other lads with the prisoner at the time,
but they escaped.
Postle, 147 I', said the prisoner had been convicted
of felony at the Bow-street Police-court, and had been
committed for six weeks. He was well known.
In answer to the magistrate as to whether he wished
to Fay anything,
and that what he said would be taken
down, the prisoner said he was not guilty, and that
the witness Clark had said on the previous exlmination
that she could not swear to his being the person who
sold the articles.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

WESTMINS PER.
A FORMIDABLE RUFFIAN.—Charles Frazer, a deter-
mined looking fellow, was charged with violently
assaulting Mr. Broghtley' the proprietor of the Prince
of Wales public-house, Vauxhall-bridge-road, also
William For his potman, and with attacking Mr.
Stephen Redman, a dealer in machinery.
Mr. Broghtley said that defendant was so lawless
and desperate a character that he had again and again
forbidden him his house, notwithstanding which he
came there yesterday afternoon and endeavoured
to force his way p-
into the to room. Witness told
him he should have nothing there, and endeavoured
to put him out, but he resisted violently, and
after striking complainant on the breast bit him through
the left hand.
William Forster, the potman, said that he assisted
e
his master in endeavouring to get the defendant out,
when he kicked and bruised him very much.
Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to the charge
Defendant—They,

went there.
ereT.hey hit me once
before,
Mr. Arnold—What do you go there for The land-
lord Defendant—l havey as much right there as anybody
else.

Mr. Arnold—You have not if you conduct yourself
in this disgraceful way. You had no right to endeavour
to (ores your way into the house. Although bound to
supply refreshments to decent and well-conducted people
a landlord may
refuse to admit and serve those who
conduct themselves improperly. He is bound by law
to keep his house in an orderly manner. Publicans
are more open than any other class of tradesmen to
annoyances of this description, and I shall always feel it
my duty to support them while they do right.
Mr. Stephen Redman said that immediately after
the previous outrage committed by the defendant be
(complainant) was about to start with a low carriage for
the conveyance of machinery, when defendant jumped
into it, and, with a filthy expression, declared he would
have a ride. Complainant said he would call the police,
when defendant jumped out of the carriage and dragged
him violently to the ground.
Mr. Arnold.--Do you know anything of him I
Mr. Redman—He is a most desperate fellow and the
terror of the neighbourhood ; he is perfectly unfit to be
at large, and will murder somebody I fear before long.
He threatened me very much, and it is difficult to say
whether he might not carry his threats into execution.
I saw him the other day wantonly, and without the
least provocation, throw a brick at three little children,
and had it struck either might have been attended with
fatal consequences.
Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—Your conduct is more like
a madman than anything else. I shall fine you it. for
assaulting Mr. BrogLiley, and in default commit you for
two months, and shall require you to find bait for six
months.
He was committed in default.

had been originally placed there. The examination
proving satisfactory they were again replaced. The
coffins of King John 111., who died in 1592, of Queen

which are of lead and wood covered with velvet,
are placed in sarcophagi of bronze. The insides of
them now only contain pieces of stuffs, jewels, and bones;
by the side of the remains of Queen Gunilla was placed
