thieves, were placed at the bar before Mr. }lngham,
charged with stealing a gold watch, value 7/., the pro-
perty of John Murdoch, No. 6, Eccleston-place, Raton-
square, Pimlico.
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared for the priso-
ners.

Mr. Robert Bail, landlord of the Harrow Tavern,
White Friar-street, Fleet-street, stated that on Saturday
night, about half-past ten, he was proceeding down
Duke-place, St. Martin's-lane, when bis attention was-
attracted to the prosecutor, who was leanirb, with his
back to the wall, apparently the worse for liquor.
He then saw the prisoner Nolan and two other men, one
or wnom ne neneveu to ne the prisoner Arundel, go up

him down again, and while he (prosecutor) was lying on
the ground the prisoner passed the watch to one of the
other men, who he felt convinced was Arunchl, and they
then ran off. Witness rushed forward
.and seized hold
of Nolan, and with the assistance of another person who
subsequently came up detained him till the arrival of a
constable' when he was given into custody.
John Murdoch, the prosecutor, deposed that on
Saturday night, a little after ten o'clock he was in
Duke's-court, with his bands in his pockets, when the
prisoner Nolan and two other men came up to him, and
before he was aware of it he was knocked down by
Nolan, who took his Old watch from his waistcoat
pocket. On feeling his watch going. he laid hold of him
and called out, " You have stolen my watch," and
" police." Nolan then " but'ed " him in the stomach,
and doubled him up on the ground. While prosecutor
was lying is this defenceless position, he distinct!y saw
Nolan hand the watch to one of the other men, who ran
off. Prosecutor was slightly in liquor at the time, and
could not identify any of the other men.

custody on the present charge.

soner Arundel on Sunday morning, at his lodgings in

WESTMINSTER.
,;SAN ABOMINABLE NUISANCE IN A RESPECTABLE
NEIGHBOURHOOD. A gentleman waited upon Mr.
Paynter this morning, and entreated his assistance
under the following circumstances.
Applicant said he had to implore him to abate a hor-
rible rmance, and not only did so on his own be-
half, but for the respectable neighbours by whom he was
surrounded. He was the proprietor of 113, Warwick-
street, Pimlico, and a short time ago let a suite of
apartments in his house to a woman of ladylike appear-
ance, who represented herself as an rAficer's widow
Before she had been there many days, he discovered
that she was a most violent person, addicted to habits
of intoxication, who, while in that state, continually
rushed into the street screaming and shrieking, and col-
lected hundreds of people, who naturally felt fiat she
bad sustained some gross illtreatment. Applicant's
servant had been so intimidated by her violence, that
she was afraid to approach her.
Mr. Paynter—Take a peace summons agair,st her.

The 2d Warwick Militia have received orders to
be embodied on the 14th of October. The regiment

is complete.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—The veteran trumpeter Distin gave
a farewell benefit at the Crystal Palace on Saturday,
when he was ably assisted by Madame Clara Novello,
Mr. Charles Braham, the younger Distins, and other
favourites—the sax horns certainly telling with greater
effect than the voc,dists. The number of visitors was
19,293, of whom 3,198 held season tickets. and therefore
were of no benefit to Mr. Distin. Notwithstanding the
attendance upon this occasion, we are convinced that
Saturday can never be properly made a people's day,
and, looking at the excellence of yesterday's programme,
we believe, had the benefit been on a Monday, something
like double the number of persons would have been pre-
sent. In trutb, though the Saturday half-holiday may
give a little additional time to the City clerks, it cannot
affect the majority of the people—the respectable mecha-
nics, who do not receive their wages until the Saturday
evening ; nor the large class of shopkeepers and the r
assistant., who depend upon the custom of the working
classes, and whose returns on the Saturdays in very
many instances far exceed those of the whole of the rest
of the week.
GLASGOW HARBOUR.—One of the heaviest and most
costly works ever undertaken by the Clyde Trust is now
approaching completion—the new addition to the South
Quay wall. The length of the new wall is nearly one-
third of a mile, and when it is completed there will be a
stretch of quay wall westward from Glasgow-bridge of
2,028 yards, or fully 11 mile of quayage for vessels on
tee south side of the hart our. The section of the wall
is curvilinear in front and vertical at back, is in thick-
ness seven fret at top and 16 feet at button), and contains
in all about 650,000 cubic feet of masonry and concrete,
or about 47,000 tons weight. Same of the stones
employed in the wall weigh fully three tons, and the
only dressing they receive is from the " pick." It is
intended to give a depth of 20 feet at loaf water, so that
the largest vessels when laden may lie afloat at all times
of the tide, as in the docks of London and Liverpool, and
in this respect it forms the most important addition that
has yet been made to the harbour. Its cost is about
50,000/ —Seotti,h, Press.
