BOW-STREET,

INFORMATIONS AGAINST THE STRAND THEATRE.—
Before twelve o'clock the office was crammed in every part.
On the Bench were Sir F. Roe; Mr. Minshall, Mr. Halls,
Mr. Mallard, Mr. Halswell, and other Magistrates. Mr.
Glossop, with his solicitor, and several dramatic friends were
also on the bench.

When the parties bad been anxiously waiting for nearly
an hour, Mr. Wooler, from• the office of Tomlin and Co.,
the solicitors, stepped forward, and said that he had just
been informed that Mr. Adolphus, who was Counsel for the
prosecution, and Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson, who
were for some of the defendants, were at that moment en-

gaged, and were likely to be for the whole of the day, in a
cause of great importance in the Court of King's Bench,
and were therefore unable to attend here. He had the
honour of appearing for one of the actors, and as each
formation was separate and distinct from the rest, although
the offence charged was the same, he would wish to proceed
at once, being perfectly prepared to do so.
Sir F. ROE was quite prepared to commence the inves-
tigation, but thought it would be hardly fair in the absence
of the Learned Gentlemen who it was known was retained
for the prosecution.

Mr. -Adolphus's clerk said he believed that gentleman
could be spared from the cause in which he was engaged
without detriment, and that he would be here soon.
Mr. Wooler said he would wait.
Mr. ADOLPHUS came in soon after, and stated that he
appeared on behalf of the Lord Chamberlain to support
the informations that have been lodged against •the nume-
rous defendants, and was amply prepared to go at once into
the proceedings ; but he must state that his learned friends,
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson, who were engaged on the
other side, were unable to attend. They were employed
in a great cause at Westminster, in which he (Mr. Adol-
phus) also held a brief, and before he came away they re-
quested him to accede to a postponement of the case here,
and to request a similar indulgence from the Magistrates.
In the usual courtesy exercised in such matters at the Barr
he could not of course refuse, and he had now to solicit a
postponement of the inquiry to any day that might be con.
venient to the Bench.

Mr. BODKIN here came in, and said he appeared for Mr.,
Glossop, and was ready at once to proceed.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said he had no objection, but as the
cases were all similar, and perhaps one would decide the
rest as far as this Office was concerned, he thought it
would be but fair to postpone the whole until the learned
gentlemen mentioned could attend, particularly as they had
made an especial request.
,Sir F. ROE said that for himself he much wished the case
should go on, but in common courtesy to the gentlemen of
the bar, all of whom he was always anxious to oblige, he
thought it was quite out of the question that they should
proceed now.

No further objection was made to a postponement, and
the hearing of all the cases was peremptorily fixed for this
day week.

The postponement seemed to cause great disappok,imea
amongst the assembled crowd, and the offict was cleared in
a very few moments.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday inspector Oakley, of the E division, gave in-
formation of the following mysterious circumstances :
On Monday last, at an early hour, as sergeant Pritchard,
of E division, was going his rounds through St. Giles's, ho
found a young woman decently clad lying on the pavement,
weltering in her blood, and in a state of insensibility. He
procured assistance, and took her to the station-house,
where a desperate wound was found upon the back part of
her head, and her clothes were completely saturated with
Mood. He immediately concluded that she was in a highly
dangerous condition, and ordered that she should be taken
to the hospital, where the injury on the head was dressed,
and she now lies without hope of recovery. It has been
elicited from her, with considerable difficulty, that she re-
sided in Church-street, St. Giles's, and that she received
the injury in resisting an attempt to take some property
from her, but she was unable to give any distinct account
of the transaction.

The officers are making every inquiry into the matter,
but as yet it is involved in mystery.

MARYLEBQNE.
Yesterday Isidore Lebaudy, a -Pren't butler, in the ser-
vice of Lord Mountcashel, 12, CP.:vendish-square, appeared
on a warrant before Mem.% aL./
AWLINSON and HOSKINS to
answer the following charge of assault preferred'against him
by Charles .klo.toott, late footman in the family of his Lord-
ship.
On Saturday last the whole of the servants having sat
tiolvu to dinner in the steward's room, the housekeeper, who
presided, helped the complainant to some roast shoulder of
mutton, taking care to supply him with several morceatis
of fat. Not having a very great penchant for the latter ar-
ticle, and being, moreover, troubled with a very delicate
stomach, he put some of it on an empty plate near at hand,
at the same time saying, in a very low tone,
.that he could
not eat it, and that "he could bear his fate (qy. fat) no
longer." The defendant, who sat opposite and heard him
use the words, then rose from his seat, and, walking up to
