CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A young gentlemen, named James Reid, who de-
scribed himself as a clerk, was charged with having been
drunk, and with assaulting police-constables 212 and
208 N.

It appeared from the evidence, that on the previous
night, the prisoner and some others were returning home
from a supper. They were making a great noise. The
prisoner and two others posted themselves at the door of
Dr. Burrowes, in Park-street, which they knocked
against several times. When the constables attempted
to dislodge them the prisoner struck 208 N several blows
on the breast, and it required a good deal of trouble to
take him to the station-house.

The prisoners assured the magistrate that they were
walking merrily and inoffensively along, when 208 N
seized him by the neck. He did not strike him, but
struggled to escape from him. The policeman knocked
him down and rolled him in the mire, so that he was
smothered in mud.

The police said that was impossible, as, there was no
mud in the place.
The mother and aunt of the prisoner, fashionable
looking females, averred that the prisoner's dress had
mud upon it, and that his under garment was torn.
North, 14 N swore the prisoner was drunk, and that
there was nothing but dust on his dress.
The prisoner was fined ten shillings. The fine was
paid at once.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
William May, a well-dressed young man, was charged
before Mr. Cottenham with being concerned with others
not in custody, with breaking into the house of Hannah
Clark, a widow, and robbing it of plate, a quantity of tea
and sugar, and other articles, her property.
The complainant, an aged and very nervous woman,
stated that she keeps a chandler's shop in Windmill-lane,
and on the preceding night she went to bed, after having
fastened up the house. The next morning, when she got
up at seven o'clock she found the back door open, and then
discovered that her shop had been broken open and
plundered of money, silver spoons, tea and sugar, and
other articles to a considerable amount. On sub-
sequent examination of the premises, it was ascertained
that the thieves must have concealed themselvee in the
house before the family retired to bed, for it was evi-
dent no force had been used by the thieves in effecting
an entrance, the bolts and bars of the back-door being
found undrawn. The prisoner was seen lurking about
the house on the evening in question. In the garden
the marks of several feet were found, showing that there
must have bean more than one concerned in the robbery.
The prisoner, who merely asserted his innocence of
the alleged charge, was remanded until the apprehension
of the other parties concerned in the affair.

WILLIAM TELL.--A letter from Friburg speaks of
a literary discovery connected with 'MIMI& Tall. Thi9
existence of this personage, which has hitherto appeared
quasi-mythological, has from this discovery beeoin
historical fact. A copy of Latiti Verso ii) Wraith fiddles
diately after tho battle of Morgarten, has just been
found, is which his name is mentioned in precise terms.
It is there stated that Tell was one of the three warriors
who took the oath of Gruthli in the commencement of
the fourteenth century. His name replaces that of Wal-
ter Furst, erroneously mentioned by the chroniclers of
the time. As to the famous story of the apple and the
arrow, nothing is said of it in the poem.
