POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 18.

GUILDHALL.—James Aloysiusllert Perry,
described as a medical agent, of 77, Newman-street,
Oxford-street, who was remanded on bail, upon a
charge of obtaining £3O under false pretences, ap-
peared before Alderman Humphery, having been
brought up from the Queen's Prison upon a habeas.
The facts of this case, which have already ap-
peared, are briefly as follows :—About three or four
years ago a Mr. Chas. Tapling became acquainted
with defendant,who was at that time connected with
the management of Drury-lane Theatre, of which a
Mr. Jarrett, or Gerratt,wasthelessee. A few weeks
after the acquaintance the defendant applied, on the
strength of certain privileges, consisting of a pri-
vate box and admission behind the scenes, granted
to Mr. Tapling, for an advance of £3O, stating that
he required the money to enable the lessee to keep
open the theatre. Mr. Tapling advanced the money,
which he understood was to be applied in paying
the ballet girls' salaries, and accepted as security a
cheque drawn on the London and Westminster
Bank by Jarrett, which he agreed to hold over for
a few days in order that funds might be lodged to
meet it. When it was presented, however, it was
returned dishonoured, and endorsed, " No account
—no effects." Shortly after that Mr. Tapling met
defendant, and on telling him that the cheque had
been dishonoured, he said he would make it all
right in a few days. Mr. Tapling neither saw nor
heard anything of the defendant until he gave him
into custody about a fortnight ago. At the end of
the first examination the defendant was remanded,
and arrested by the sheriff's officer on leaving the
court upon a civil process.
_ _ _

Mr. Beard, for the prosecution, intimated that
Mr. Tapling was unavoidably detained at Man-
chester, and that a further remand for a week was
therefore desirable.

Mr. Levi, for the defendant, said it was quite clear
that Mr. Tapling felt there was no case against the
defendant, as the money was advanced upon Jar-
rett's cheque and for Jarrett's use, and the privilege
ho enjoyed of going behind the scenes was the mo-
tive which induced him to oblige Jarrett.
Alderman Humphery said he understood the case.
It amounted to this, that Mr. Tapling had a stall or
private box at the theatre, and wishing to go be-
hind the scenes to see the ballet girls, he was wil-
ling to pay for the privilege. (Laughter.)
Mr. Levi said that was the fact to a certain ex-
tent, but he relied upon the circumstance that the
money was advanced to Jarrett, and not to the de-
fendant, for his answer to this charge.
Alderman llumphery said it was evident that
Mr. Tapling being, like many young men, flush
with money, was willing to pay £3O for the entree
of the theatre, including the privilege of going be-
hind the scenes among the ballet girls—(laughter)
—and that he took the cheque to secure his £3O in
the event of his privilege being restricted.
Mr. Levi said that was the real state of the case.
The theatre was not kept open long after the cheque
was given, and Jarrett subsequently had to seek
the protection of the Insolvent Court, and Mr.
Tapling thercfcre sought to get the amount of the
cheque from the defendant.

Alderman Humphery said he supposed the theatre
closed too soon for Mr. Tapling, and that he consi-
dered his privileges too much abridged for the
amount he had paid—(laughter)—and felt disap-
pointed accordingly.
Mr. Levi said there was no doubt it was that feel-
ing which had actuated him in these proceedings.
It was a simple matter of debt, and his object in
making a criminal charge was to procure-his arrest
upon a civil process.
Alderman Humphery said he should like to have
Mr. Tapling present before he disposed of the case.
Mr. Levi said he must object to any remand, as
the defendant was put to the expense of £4 or £5
for a habeas every time he was brought up ; but if
Mr. Tapling would pay that expense, he would ac-
cede to a remand.

Alderman liumphery said he thought it was only
fair that Mr. Tapling should bring the defendant
up at his own expense.
Mr. Levi said he had not attempted to quash the
arrest until he knew how this case would terminate;
but if the defendant were discharged from his re-
cognisances, he would undertake that he should ap-
pear if Mr. Tapling would go to the expense of a
habeas, and he would further promise that for two
days the defendant should not be removed from the
Queen's Prison.

Alderman Humphery upon this undertaking dis-
Cargod the defendant, at the same time stating that
Mr. Tapling might give him into custody again
whenever he felt in a position to establish the charge.
Mr. Levi said he had no fear of Mr. Tapling doing
anything of the kind.
The defendant was then discharged.

LA MBETH.—SERtous COMPLAINT AGAINST A
CLERGYMAN.--Inspector Bent, of the A division of
police, and who is employed on the South-Western
Railway, attended before the Hon. G. C. Norton,
with a young lady who had been a passenger by
that line of railway, and who had a charge of a
serious, if not a highly culpable character, to prefer
against a clergyman, who is the incumbent of a
large and influential parish in the metropolis.
The lady, who appeared to be about 19 or 20 years
of age, and of prepossessing appearance, on enter-
ing the witness-box said that on the night before
she got into a second-class carriage of an up train
at Kingston, and at Wandsworth the person of
whom she had to complain got into the same car-
riage, took a seat right opposite to her, and soon
commenced the conduct of which she had to com-
plain to his worship. He placed his leg, unper-
ceived by her, in the first instance under her dress
and between both hers, and acted in a manner to
convince her his intention was to insult her, and the
instant she discovered this she moved away to
another part of the carriage. She was, however,
followed by the same person, who renewed his in-
sults.

Mr. Norton—How often did he act in the manner
you ha"e described after you removed ?
Applicant—Only once, but he did it several times
on the first occasion, and tried to repeat it, when a
gentleman in the carriage saw that I appeared very
ranch annoyed by him, spoke to him about it, and
said if I did not give him in charge he should. He
also ordered him to sit on the other side of the car-
riage, the side I was on, but some distance from
me.

Mr. Norton—Did the person move voluntarily at
the gentleman's request ?
Applicant—Yes, sir.
Mr. Norton—Did he say anything on his doing
so !

Applicant—Yes. He said he did not think he
had offended any one, and that if ho hut done any-
thing to offend me he hoped I would excuse it.
11er. Norton—Did you make any complaint to the
gentleman you have mentioned before he inter-
fered ?

Applicant—No, sir, but I endeavoured to get out
of the person's way as far as I could by sitting
back, and I suppose the gentleman observed me,
for he at once said to the person, " You are very
much annoying that lady."
Mr. Norton—The person's willingness to move,
and his expressions would lead to the belief that he
was unconscious of offending, or doing so inten-
tionally.
Applicant—He must have been quite well aware
of it, and had there not been a third person in the
carriage I do not know the extent of insult which
I might have been subjected.
Mr. Norton—The second-class carriages are not
very wide, and may it not happen, particularly to
a lady of sensitive mind and feeling that an acci-
dental touch may be taken for an intentional in-
sult. Now, I wish to ask you whether the act of
which you complain was deliberate and intentional,
or whether it may not have been the result of ac-
cident ?

Applicant (emphatically)—l am quite certain it
was intentionally done, and that he meant to insult
me.

Mr. Norton—Can you state whereabout this mis-
conduct took place P
Applicant—During the journey from Wands-
worth, and not many miles from the Waterloo-
station.

Mr. Norton—What is the person complained of ?
Mr. Bent—He is a clergyman, sir, whose name I
have got, and I have attended here with this young
lady, by direction of Mr. Young, the station-
manager at Waterloo-station,to take out a summons,
or take such other roceeclings as your worship
may determine on, as it is Mr. Young's and the
Company's determination to protect all passengers,
and more particularly ladies travelling on_ the line.
I beg to call your worship's attention to the fifth
rule in the Company's bye laws, which may meet
this case, and which states that," Any person found
in a carriage or station, in a state of intoxication,
or committing any nuisance, or otherwise wilfully
interfering with the comfort of other passengers, is
hereby subject to a penalty of 403.
Mr. Norton directed that a summons be taken
out for this rule, and the necessary instructions
having been taken, the summons was issued.
It appears, though the fact did not transpire
before the magpstrate, that the clerical offender has
already suffered pretty dearly for his conduct, for
it so happened that the gentleman who is paying his
attentions to the insulted lady was waiting her
arrival at the Waterloo station, and on being made
acquainted with thecircumstance, he " slipped
into" the reverenddivine,
and gave him a severe
pummelling.

GLASGOW W

ATER 4missioN.—At a meeting
of this body on Thursday i Cto was agreed to go to Parliament
for additional ?wen to the aruotult of ,t3)0,000.
