MAR YLEB ONE.

George CuIle!), a private of the 3d battalion of
the Ist regiment of Foot Guards, was brought up
on a warrant issued under an order of affiliation, and
likewise charged with assaulting David Alderson,
under the following aggravating circumstances :
The prisoner was remanded by Mr. RAWLINSON,
in order to give the officers an oppottunity of ap-
prehending and bringing to justice the other soldiers
who took a part in this disgraceful affair.
David Alderson, an officer of this establishment,
repaired to the King's Barracks, Westminster, on
Tuesday morning, for the purpose of apprehending
the prisoner, who had neglected to comply with the
terms of an order of affiliation served on him on the
12th of August, 1829. On the officer making in-
quiries at the barracks he ascertained the prisoner
was not there, and from thence proceeded to the
New Star and Crown public-house, Broadway,
Westminster, where he saw him sitting in the tap-
room with a number of his comrades. He showed
him his warrant, and told him he was his prisoner,
when a general cry of " Oh no, not yet," was set
up by the soldiers; and, in a few moments after-
wards,
Alderson was surrounded and forced against
the wall with great violence. The landlord was
then called upon toaid and assist in the Kinz%nesme,
but he refused to interfere, observing, ki If you have
got a warrant, you must e:.:eeute it how you can."
In this sitnutien the officer was kept, expecting
every moment to fall a prey to the violence of the
soldiers, until the prisoner had made his escape, He
then applied to Mr. White, the M4gistrate, of
Queen-square, who afforded him every assistance,
and he returned to the Fiblic-house, accompanied by
several officers, but on arriving there they found the
soldierz had all left. The following morning (Wed
nesday) Alderson, Webster, another officer a this

establishment, and Read, the worktic?,c,se messenger,
proceeded to the barracks te :.-a-itieavour to take thr

Prisoner, but their Lui.iness was no sooner made
known tha74 nearly the whole regiment set up h
most dreadful hissing and hooting, and were with
difficulty prevented by the sergeants from using per.
sonal violence towards the °kers. Application was
then made to th? Adjutant of the regiment, who
gave orders for the production of the man and pro-
tection of the officers, and the man was conveyed
away amidst the yelling of the soldiers,
All effortb
to arrest the other parties whe took a share in the
transaction had been gr.:..vailing.
A person, attended from the New Styxatld Crewn,
lastll4. W4rq's direction, att4 said, in explanation
of his conduct, that tit; 'ortter course for the officer
to have pursu,ed would have been to have sant a
message in by the landlord to the prisoc,er, and not
have exhibited his warrant before so many of hi
comradee. He added that the landlord was afraid t,

assist when called upon to do so by Alderson, a; h,

Chelsea, and disturbing the congregation on the
previous day. He was ordered to find bail for the
offence and send for his friends. He was taken to
the New Prison, Clerkenwell, where every care was
taken of him. An inquiry was made respecting him,
and it was ascertained that his friends and con-
nexions were highly respectable, and that he was,
as lie described himself, a Clergyman. His name,
however, was not given correct, and should be the
Rev. Frederick Dusantoy, and his friends reside at
Bampton, in Huntingdonshire. On one occasion
since he has been in prison he behaved very vio-
lently, and threw one of the turnkeys down stairs,
On Wednesday he was brought to the Office again
and accommodated in a private room, and visited by-
the Magistrate, with whom he conversed in a moi e
rational mariner. Several Clergymen, to whom he
had written letters, also called upon him, with
whom he conversed for a considerable time, and
requested that he might be furnished with a Bible.
One of the gentlemen immediately procured him one,
and he occupied his time nearly the whole of the
day in reading and marking certain passages of it
with a pencil. In the evening his friends attended,
and with the consent of Mr. WHITE he was removed
in a carriage to Mr. Finch's Lunatic Asylum at Ken-
sington, where he was received by that gentleman
with great humanity, and every care and attentive,
immediately paid to his unfortunate situation.
HATT ON- GARDEN.
A Row AT THE BEGGAR'S OPERA.-- Parbla
M•Carthy, a " sailor who had never been at sea,"
but one of those " land-sharks" that go about by
day to extract money from the pockets of the hu-
mane, and get drunk and laugh at their credulity at
night—that is to bay, a " vagrant" attired as a sea-
man—was charged by Mr. Boyle, the landlord of
the Robin Hood, Church-street, St. Giles's, with
having kicked up a " Christmas row," and smashing`
several window and other glasses. It appears that
the Robin Hood is one of the most respectable
public-houses in St. Giles's, and is generally fres
qiiented by the upper class in the vicinity, who
view it as the tavern of the Holy Land (St. Giles's).
Every description of character may be seen in the
place on certain occasions, such as festivals; arid, if
report speaks truly, some of the first eobs in the
country, even Royalty itself, who were fond of life,
have visited the establishment incog., in order to
witness the manoeuvres of low life. "The eccentric
Billy Waters," after scraping his musk and wearing
out his timber toes during the day, used to retire to
this spot at night, to " blow his cloud and quaff his
pint and glass" to the health of Massa and Missce:
for remembering " poor Billy." Old Riley, the
well-known imposter, and others of his stamp, could
throw aside their crutch, and dance a reel to Billy's
fiddle, while Tennison, Barry, Williams, and Far-
quharson, the well-known blind men, could see the
goings on as well as those who could seC, and other
" poor fellows, who had lost an arm in defence
of their country with the brave Admiral Howe
on the glorious First of June," have ofteu,
in this place of resort of beggars, thrown aside
their artificial stumps and " mill away" with a
couple of arms with " lusty sinews," to the gratifi-
cation of the lovers of boxing and al! max. The
house has been celebrated for years past, and knowh
by the title of " The Beggar's Opera," and is the
house alluded to in Pierce Egan's Life hi London,
as being the tavern where the principal beggars get
up their festivals, and have their " turkey anti sos-
sengers," their claret and sherry, and, after victim-
ising the charitable and humane, drink with
heartfelt grater Mod the appropriate toasts of " Suc-
cess to flat-catching, gemmen," and " Here's to
swindling in all its warious and complicated
branches," when roars of laughter and applause,
with " Bra-vo," and " D—rn good, Massa," have
made the room ring again. The prisoner, who is
generally known as a beggar, dressed as a sailor,
sometimes without a hat, and at others without shoes
or jacket, follows ladies and respectable looking.
young men, and gets relieved, with the represee-
tation that he had sold those articles. He entered
the place on Christmas night, and began to inlet-
rupt the party there, and, on going out, he fought
with another lame sailor, and the glasses, &c., we t
broken.

The prisoner seemed to have the "
and " three months" before his eyes, but, undet a
promise not to make any future disturbance, and to
pay his way, he was discharged.
The prisoner, who often hides one of his Esrnoi
under his jacket when he is professionally engage,i,
seemed to be overjoyed at his escape, and irical;-
tiously said, " Heaven bless your Honour may you
never know the want"-of an arm, he would have
said but he bethought himself, and hastened out
of the office.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF STOLEN PRo-
PERTY.—Yesterday, George Williams, alias George
Turner, alias Davis, otherwise Jones, a returned
transport, and William Gladden,alias Bra»-
ton, who were a short time ago sentenced to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour as reputed
thieves, underwent a final examination before A. S.
LAING, Esq., in the Governor's room in the House
'of Correction, where the prisoners are incarcerated
under the Magistrate's conviction, charged with
having committed several dating burglaries.
It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Miles,
14 G, John Murphy, 215 G, Inspector Busane,
and Collier, 94 N division, that an the night of the
;oth November Sergeant Miles was on duty in the
City-road, when he saw the prisoners lurking abotri.
under very suspicious circumstances,
which induced
him to follow them and watch their manceuvres,
knowing them to be notorious characters. On their
arrival near the Angel Tavern, Islington, Miles in-
timated his suspicions to Collier, and ultimately to
Inspector Butane and Murphy, and they continued
to watch them until they got opposite Claremont
Chapel, Pentonvi/le-road, when the prisoner Bran-
ston tYes observed to throw something over the
railings into the yard. Collier immediately got ore:.
the railings, and found a dark lanthern, a crow-
bar, and imp.lenieAts for housebreaking, while
the other oWcers secured the prisoners and
took them to the station-house, and on search-
ing them thirty-three skeleton keys were found
examined before Mr.

three months, under the

ni.4 Police
ot Atte,
et
office, two women of decent appearance came to
make inquiries after theta. Murphy and Collier,
suspecting that the prisoners were concerned with a
gang of 41.trghirs, who, for some time past, had com-
mitted the most daring and extensive robberies in
tile neighbourhood of Islington, watched them for
upwajds of four hours, until they entered at a house
in Francis-street, Finsbury. Tito officers, conceiving
that the females had suspected that they were
watched, changed their clotb.es several times en the
road at old clothes;' shops. On knocking at the
door, they were immediately admitted, but at first
they perceived nothing to excite suspicion, but on
removing a dish cover, a large bunch of picklock
keys were found hanging behind various other
covers and picture frames. The women seemed
dreadfully alarmed and agitated, and the officers
commenced a general search over the place. Mur-
phy proceeded to a cupboard, where he discovered
a trap-door, on lifting which he descended into a
vault or cellar, which was crammed with property
of every description, with crow-bare, skeleton
keys, und implements titf ali evils for house.

They took the two women into
custody, and they gave their names,• Mary
Manning anti Mary Ann Turner, who proved to be
rhe wife of the prisoner Turner. The officers then
ook possession of the property, consisting of plate,
watches,jewellery of every description, wearing ap-
parel, frames, looking-glasses, and furniture, with a
considerable quantity of pawnbrokers' duplicates for
valuable articles; and through the dint of exertion
they traced owners for a great many of the articles
found in the house of the prisoner Williams, cilia,.
Turner, &c., but a large portion of the property still
remains to be owned.
The first charge of burglary made against the
prisoners was by Dr. Armsden, of Crutchell-place,
New North-road, Islington, whose house was felo-
niously entered and robbed of plate, wearing ap-
parel, jewellery, and 20/. in money, on the morning
of the Bth of November, when the family were
buried in sleep. Dr. Armsden identified several
articles found by the officers.—The prisoners were
fully committed on this charge.
The second charge was preferred by Mr. Harper,
the proprietor of the Royal George Tavern, Bali's-
pond, Islington, for having robbed his house of plate
to a considerable amount, and 60/. in sovereigns,
Bank-notes, and silver.
In August last the male prisoners entered the
house and requested to have a private room ; they
were ushered to the first floor apartment adjoining
the chamber of the prosecutor, when they called for
a glass of gin and water. One of the prisoners met
the servant on the stairs every time the " grog" was
ordered, and took it from her, in order to prevent
his companion being disturbed while he was perform-
ing the act of plunder. Some time after they hail
quitted the place the door of the bed-room was
found to have been forced open with a crow-bar,
and the property mentioned missing.
The prisoners denied the robbery, but were corn-
mitted.
The third charge was preferred by Mr. Robert
Smith, of the firm of Smith and Payne, bankers, of
Lombard-street, whose house, situate No. 8, Crut-
chell- place, Islington, was entered and robbed on the
.norning of the Bth Nov., at two o'clock, when the
family were asleep.
Fully committed on the charge.
Mr. Smith, jun., son to the above gentleman,
who is connected with the recruiting department of
the East India Company, charged the prisoners
with a similar robbery, and they were fully com-
mitted.
Mr. Griffin, of Charles-square, Iloxton Old-
town, charged them with having entered his house
and plundered it of articles of plate and other pro-
perty to a considerable amount.
Miles, Collier, and Murphy produced various
articles found in the prisoners' house, which were
identified.
The prisoners denied this as well as the other
charge=, but they were fully committed to Newgate
for trial. The term of their former sentence not
having expired, they will be removed from the House
of Correction by habeas corpus to the Old Bailer
when their trial is appointed to take place.
The females were liberated.
The officers were highly complimented for their
zeal in the case, and being instrumental in dis-o-
vering the property, and bringing the delinquents to
Yesterday Edward Pynz, an elderly man, a
cripple, was charged by William Burgh, another el-
derly man, residing in Baldwin's-gardens, Gra\ 's
Inn-lane, with having violently assaulted him with a
tremendous bludgeon. Both the prosecutor ated
prisoner exhibited black eyes and bruises, and it was
evident to every one that a desperate conflict had
taken place.
The prosecutor yesterday morning saw the pri-
eoner standing in a very indelicate position opposite
the door of his house, and on remonstrating w'i'ts
him he immediately struck him violently on the lip
with his bludgeon, and cut his mouth dreadfully.
He became very desperate, aryl although a cripple
witness expected a sound thrashing from his soelt,
with which he aimed a desperate blow at his head,
and cut his temple (the prosecutor had hie temple
and eye bandaged up). He was obliged to defend
himself, and in doing which he received several
desperate blows from the prisoner's stick about t
l-c
head and body, and he was rendered quite insensible.
A police constable produced the bludgeon, arid
ea d the prisoner's conduct was exceedingly violent.
Mr. ROGERS a-ked the prisoner what he had to say
Prisoner—He called me an ould wagabone, and I
struck him, and would do so again if he called me so.
Mr. ROGERS (to the prosecutor)—lt is a most
violent assault, my man ; but I am afraid we cannot
entertain the charge, as you returned the blow.
You took the law into your own hands.
Burgh—l was obliged to do so, your Worship,
or I should have been nicely served out.
Mr. Sergeant SELLON said he had taken satisfac-
tion by fighting the prisoner. He ought to have
avoided striking him, and the law would grant lint
redress for the assault.
Mr. RoGEns (to the prisoner)—You are now
discharged, lint your bludgeon shall certainly not be
returned ; it shall be destroyed.
Prisoner—Then I hope your 'Worship will get
me another, or I shall not be able to leave the office.
Mr. RoGEne—Why so ? Prisoner—l am a
cripple; I cannot walk without my stick ; I was
supported to the office.
ei he policeman stated that he had a bumble foot,
and one leg was considerably shorter than the milk r.
The prisoner attempted to walk, but the short
limb would not touch the ground unless e te
have some support, and he nearly fell down; saed,
tinder the circumstances,
Mr. RouEßs ordered his bludgeon to be restored
to him, when he hobbled out of the office, appa-
rently congratulating himself and his stick at their
narrow escape from imprisonment arid the flames,
while the bystanders seemed highly amused during
the proceeding.
TIIA.IIES POLICE.
SINGULAR CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—A CHRISTMAS
PARTY.—Ye-terday Captain William _Robson Gar-
butt, the master and part owner of a coal-ship, was
brought before Captain RICHBELL and Mr. BALLAN-
TiNE, charged with committing an assault on a
policeman.
Charles Hitchins, a police conetable, No. 287 11,
about half-past five o'clock that morning was re-
quested by the Captain of a vessel who was ine-
briated to accompany him to the house of a merchant
in Wapping, where he said he had been robbed of
his watch and seals. He proceeded to the house,
where he found a party of ladies and gentlemen,
who had been enjoying the festivities of the season,
about to break up. The person who first accosted
him said that he was about to retire to a spare bed
in the house which the host hail placed at his dis-
posal, when he missed his watch, and insisted that
some of his friends had robbed him, and that he
should not be satisfied until they were all searched.
The lady of the house indignantly repelled this im-
putation on the character of her guests, and witness,
knowing all the parties to be highly respectable, de•
clined interfering wit he had consulted his in-
vector ; but the complainant declared he should
remain, and he then suggested that every gentleman
should empty his pockets. In an instant every coat
was thrown off and the pockets emptied, and thegen-
tiemen also did the same with the pockets of their other
garments, but the watch was not forthcoming. The
defendant, who was one of the first to throw ff
o his
eoat, and was much intoxicated, asked witness to
search him, and on his refusal said," I'd as soon pull
your nose as .look at you ;" and, immediately- seiz ng
him by the nose, wrung it, and dragged him round
the room by it, causing great confusion among all
present. He continued wringing his nose and put
him in great pain until a another policeman extri-
cated him.
Parker, No. 156 K, confirmed Hitchins' state-
ment, and said the gentleman's watch was subse-
quently found on the bed, where he had placed it
on first entering the room.
Mr. BennanTiNE—Was Hutchins much injured ?
Pecker—He was, your Worship. The Captain

wrung his nose =o soundly that he roared with
agony, and filled his eyes with tears.
Hitchins—For some time I thought I had no
nose on my face:
Captain Garbutt had nothing more to say than
that it was Christmas time, and he had no recollec-
tion of the circumstance. He might have pulled
the policeman's nose for a little amusement.
Mr. BALLANTINE said it might be amusement to
I him, but it was none to the policeman, whose judi-
cious behaviour was above all praise. An orthodox
irregularity at this season of the year might have
been forgiven, but there was nothing orthodox in
nearly wringing an officer's nose from his face.
The policeman had no wish to press the charge,
and at the same time mentioned that another of the
party who accompanied the defendant to the sta-
tion-house made such a noise that he was turned
out. Soon afterwards he came back minus of his
watch, which had been stolen from him by two
girls. Another of the party was nearly drowned
by taking the wrong road and walking into the
river.
Captain Garbutt here began abusing the police-
man and Magistrates and staggered about the dock.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant was not in
a fit state to answer the charge, and ordered him to
be locked up.
Three hours afterwards the defendant, who had in
the interim partaken of many glasses of sodawater,
• was again put to the bar, and, on expressing his sot-
row for wringing the policeman's nose, was convict-
ed in the penalty of 20s. only, which he paid.
