THE BETTING NUISANCE IN BRIDE-

LANE:

The adjourned hearing of the summonses in this matter
was resumed at Guildhall, at 4 o'clock this day. The
several defendants duly appeared, and evidence was ad-
duced to support the allegations made yesterday as to the
obstruction caused in Bride lane by the defendants, or in
consequence of their acts. Several constables, who had
been sent to the spot on special duty in connection with
the charge, gave evidence which clearly established the
assemblage of crowds, and the nressnce of those charged:
Some of the inhabitants also proved that the groups of
persons so assembled acted detrimentally to their pro-
per conduct of their business, and also showed that the exist-
ing obstruction had only been since the defendants and
others, following the same callin g,had frequented that special
locality. Mr. Metcalfe, for the defendants, in a spirited
address, characterised the prosecution as a crusade
against betting on a small scale, and strongly inveighed
against the city authorities for not exercising their virtuous
fancies in putting down betting elsewhere, whether at Tat-
tersalls' or not. The presiding magistrate, Mr. Alderman
Hale, suggested that Tattersalls' was not within the juris-
diction of the City ; when Mr. Metcalfe, amid a burst of
cheering, which was with difficulty partially suppressed,
rejoined that, "at all events, the Stock Exchange and
Mark-lane are." Ultimately, the defendants were
bound over in their own recognisances of £BO
each, and one surety in £4O to appear at the next sessions
of the Central Criminal Court, to answer any indictment
that would be preferred against them. The court, as yes-
terday, was densely crowded by the speculating fraternity.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY BY A NURSE.—Mary Ann Pale-
field, a woman of about 60, of bloated appearance, and de
scribed as a nurse, was charged with the following heart-
less robbery :
Mr. James Clark, bootcloser, of 1, Ship-yard, Wardour-
street, Soho, said the prisoner had been employed by h'm
for about 7 weeks to nurse his wife, who unfortunately died
on Sunday week. He had since kept the prisoner em-
ployed, and in consequence of what he learnt from his ap•
prentice, since the funeral of his wife, he took a constable
to the prisoner's lodgings, 10, Hopkins-street, and there
found a large quantity of articles, his property, including
two bags of feathers, taken fi om the bed on which his late
wife had been lying—in fact, there were articles of every
description taken.
Edwin Beale, apprentice to Mr. Clark, proved that on
Monday last, owing to the absence of Mr. Clark, the pri-
soner came to him and said she was going on an errand.
He went upstairs, and then looking out of the window, saw
the prisoner leave the house with two bundles under her
apron—the ends projecting.

Pawson, 121 C, said prisoner denied having the feathers,
but on going to her lodgings he found them sewed up in
two bags. She at first said she had got them out of pawn
in Tottenham-court-road, but afterwards that she had taken
them out of her own bed to make two pillows; and on
examining the bed it had not been opened.
Mr. Mansfield remanded her for a few days.
A BETTING AFFAIR.—Wm. Fey, a betting man, was
charged with annoying Mr. John Wm. Clubb, fishmonger,
of 17, Tyler- street, Regent-street.

Mr. Clubb said—l gave the man in charge for causing a
riot round my door. He called me a " thief," a " swindler,"
and everything else. I gave him in charge for the riot;
but I beg to state that for the past few days he has been to
my shop getting up a Eot. All I want is peace and quiet-
ness. I don't want to fight everybody that challenges me.
(Laughter.) I'll now leave the case in your worship's
hands.

Defendant—You owe me a bet, and refused to pay.

Mr. Clubb—No, I don't.

Defendant—You do. I was a little fresh, and excited
because you did not " shell " up, Mr. Fishmonger.
(Laughter.)

Mr. Mansfield ordered the defendant to pay ss. for being
drunk.
