EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF INDE-

CENT CONDUCT AGAINST AN M.P.

Sir John Villiers Shelley, Bart., M.P., 66, St•
James's-street, was brought before Mr. Corrie, at
the Marlborough-street police-court, yesterday, in
the custody of Hubbersty, the warrant officer,
charged on a warrant as follows a
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and
explained that this prosecution was instituted by
Mr. Stafford, of 18, St. James's-street, which is
opposite the defendant's, for conduct which, if not
suppressed, would render it impossible for him to
let his lodgings again, and then went into the par-
ticulars of the case, involving acts of indecent ex-
posure of person on the part of the defendant to
various ladies viewing the carriages passing to the
Queen's Drawing-room—and not alone on that day,
but repeatedly. the charge was a nuisance at com-
mon law.

Mr. Garth, for the defendant, requested witnesses
to withdraw, and then

,
Mrs. Susan Stafford, the wife of Mr. Richard
Stafford, residing at No. 18, St. James's-street,
gave evidence in support of the charge. In cross-
examination, she said Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor,
was with Mr. Train on the subject on the Saturday
before he saw me. It was in the morning, and I saW
Mr. Train in the evening. My husband sent me
here with Mr. Humphreys on Saturday. I have
understood Sir John always leaves town on Satur-
days and Tuesdays. I cannot say how I learnt that.
I know it was so last season. My husband has had
our house more than twelve months. I know that
Mr. Train is engaged in the tramway affair, and
heard on Wednesday morning that Sir John has
opposed him therein.

Mr. Humphreys objected, and said Mr. Train
could be called if necessary ; but the question wag,
irrelevant as regards the witness.
Cross-examination continued—My servant told
me that Mrs. Train had just spoken to her with
another lady, Mrs. Shaffner, who had, she said,
been very much annoyed at the conduct of some
gentleman, and she believed him to be a gen-
tleman, because she had seen some ladies bew to him
from a brougham in acknowledgment of a bow from
him. It was Mrs. Train's servant Maria, who spoke,
to me on Wednesday evening about the tramways-.
She said only, " He is the gentleman who opposed
Mr. Train." I had an interview with Mr. and Mrs.
Train on Saturday evening.
Mr. Humphreys again objected that this was not
evidence.

Mr. Garth said he would show that it was.
Witness continued—Mr. Train said he would not
believe it to be true. My husband told me on Thurs-
day he had spoken to Mr. Train about this matter.
Evidence in chief resumed. No man except my
husband was in the house during the disgusting
conduct of Sir John. My servant knew who the
person was, but Mrs. Train did not at first.
Mr. Humphreys said an improper construction
might be put upon the mode of cross-examination
pursued, which was not right.
Some further evidence having been adduced,
Mr. Humphreys said he did not wish to have the
warrant executed till to-day, because he did not
want him in custody.
Sir John Shelley said the whole of the witnesses
ought to be heard at once on so serious a charge
against him as they had brought.
Mr. Humphreys said be should be prepared to-
morrow, and had many more witnesses. He consi-
dered he had a strong case.
Mr. Corrie said the courts were awkwardly
situate at present, because of his being engaged at
Bow-street.

Ultimately it was arranged to take the case at
two o'clock to•morrow,and he wouldcome specially
to hear it.

Bail, Sir John Shelley himself in £5OO, and two
sureties in £250 each, was taken for the defend-
ant's appearance.
