CLERKENWELL—Tum NEw PASSPORT REGULA-
TIONS.—SINGULAR APPLI,OATION.—Two Neapolitans
applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for recommendations to the
Foreign-office, for passports to enable them to go to
Napier. They were not known either to the magistrate
or to the officers of the court. They had previously
applied to the Neapolitan Minister, who had refused
to comply with the wishes of the applicant..
Mr. Tyrwbitt said that it was a singular reason for
npplying to him for the necessary recommendation t 3
the Foreign-office, when the applicants had been refused
by the Neapolitan Minister. He could only grant re-
commendations t) British subjects, or naturalised
British subjects, and he should, therefore, refuse the
application. If any wrong Lad been done to the appli-
cants, it had not been done through the British authori-
ties, but had been caused by their own ambassador.

11TAELBOROLIGH-STREET.—THE HYDE-PIRK
MEETING. —24 r. Shaen, of Bedford-row, accompanied
by one of the committee who promoted the last Sue-
day's meeting in Hyde-park, attended, in consequetice
of the remarks reported to have fallen from the magis-
trate at the conclu:ion of the charges of disorderly con-
duct ors Sunday in Hyde-park, heard in thi-, court on
Monday last, and begged to be allowed to make a short
sitatement on behalf of those he represented.
Mr. Bead on raid he had read the report alluded to in
the papers of the day, and could only say he considered
it quite a fair report. He had stated that ruffians and
rickpockets had been drawn together, and this must
have been foreseen 33 a consequence by those who pro-
moted that meeting. The applicant had the course
open to him of making what explanation he pleased, but
the police court was not the place for that purpose, and
therefore he must decline to hear him. He considered
that applicant could make his explanation on the part
of the committee through the medium of the papers.
Mr. Shaen submitted that the explanation be attended
to offer ought to be heard and made public.
Mr. Boadon said he had no control over reporters.
They m ght do as they liked. Bnt he should certainly
decline to bear any statement on the subject in court,
because, as he had said before, that was not the place
for such purpose. He (Ur, B3aden) could only repeat
that ruffians and thieves had been called together
through the meeting.
Mr. Shaen—Just as they are on public occasions—
racecourses, precessions, lairs, and the like.
Mr. Beadon—But not on a Sunday. He considered
that applicant had better, if it should be thought neces-
sary, make his explanation in the public papers. He
had nothing to do Kith the public press, and could not
permit the business of the court to be interrupted by
such an application.

Mr. Shaen, hoping at least that the press would notice
that his application had been refused, withdrew.

LAM B ETH.--WEIOLESALE SuasHlNG.—Mary DuC
ton, a middle aged woman, who stated her place of resi-
dence to be Whiteero,s-street, St. Luke's, and Margaret
West, a young woman, who gave her address, 4,
Baker's-terrace, Shoreditch Church, were brought before
Mr. Elliott on the following charge :
Sarah Barker, barmaid to Mr. Hill, of the Gibraltar
Tavern, St. (.4-road,-road, Southwark, said, a short time
before the prisoner
Dutton came to the bar, called
for half a pint of beer, and tendered in payment a
counterfeit sixpence. Witness broke it with her
teeth and throw both pieces on the counter, when
the prisoner said it wa.s a very hard case, as she
had been pis' paid for her work with the bad six-
pence and other moneys.
Mr. Frederick Hill said that having heard th©
conversation between his barmaid, the last witness,
and the prisoner Dutton, and seeing the latter
pick up the two pieces of the broken sixpence from
the counter, he determined on watching her. He
accordingly passed out at a side door, and while
crossing tlio road he observed Dutton making signs
with leer band to some person, and then go to the
front of Mr. George Butterfield's, the Fountain,
nearly
opposite, and stoop down for a moment at
the grating. Site was then joined by the prisoner
West, and both walked towards Lambeth-road,
where they separated, and Dutton entered Mr.
Healey's, the St. George's Tavern. He (Mr. Hill)
followed her, and just as he got in she was in the
act of tendering a sixpence in payment for half a
pint of beer, which was pronounced by the barmaid
to be a bad one, and placed on the counter again.
Witness instantly laid hold of the prisoner and the
sixpence, charged her with uttering one of a similar
description just before at his own house, and handed
her over to the chare of a constable. He (Mr.
}Hill) then took a constable with him to secure the
other prisoner, whom they found at a short distance
from the house standing by the Blind School. He
(Mr. Hill) laid hold of one of her hands, and the
policeman the other, and the latter took a bad sixe•
pence from the hand he laid hold of. She struggled
hard, and while doing so he saw a black bag which
had been taken from the same hand by the
constable, and which contained counterfeit
money. After both prisoners had been se-
cured, witness -went to the Fountain, and
having t, slit Mr. Butterworth what had occurred,
both went down to the cellar, and each picked
up the half of the counterfeit sixpence produced,
and which they found right under the grating over
which he had seen the prisoner Dutton stoop.
Miss Bonner, barmaid to Mr. Healey, the St.
George's Tavern, corroborated the testimony of
Mr. Hill, respecting the counterfeit sixpence
offered to her by the prisoner Dutton.

Police-constable, 193 L, deposed to having re-
ceived the prisoner Dutton into custody, and find-
ing 2s nd. in good money on her. Constable, 125,
spoke to having secured the prisoner West, and
Sergeant Budd, 9 L, produced a black bag, con-
taining 14 counterfeit sixpences, which he had
taken from the prisoner. The br(ken sixpence
which the prisoner Dutton had first Offered was
positively sworn to by Miss Barker, barmaid of
Mr. Hill ; and Mr. Hill himself h.d sworn to the
pieces as those picked up in Mr. Butterfield's
by himself and the other by Mr. But-
presence, yet the clerk from the
cteeil.laaerl,d7ien
his
Mint Office applied to the magiArate that the
testimony of Mr. Butterfield might also be taken,
and also that ho might be bound over as a witness.
The prisoner Dutton, in reply to the charge,
said she was not aware the sixpences were bad, and
West declared that the black bag with the counter-
feit sixpences in it had been given to her to take
care of by the other prisoner, who gave her 23/4d.
for doing so.

Mr. Butterfield said that on the night before no
less than four attempts to pass base money had been
made at his house, and he could not help thinking
that the law on the subject required immediate
attention.
