Sergeant Chad si ick of the F division stated that the
prisoner had lived by cadging about the market for
thirteen years—since he was a child. He had been
repeatedly convicted by the magistrates at Bow-street
as Mary Ann Page, having always worn female ap-
parel until about twelve months ago. He was treated
as a woman in the neighbourhood, but during his lust
confinement in Tothill-fields Prison he was provided
with man's clothing by order of the governor and
medical officers. _

Mr. Hum said it was quite clear the prisoner
bore a very bad character, and inflicted a penalty of
51., or two months' hard labour.
The prisoner was committed in default.
Chantrey W. Deverell, under twenty years of age,
was charged with threatening the life of his father,
who holds a situation in the School of Design at
Somerset- house.
The disobedience and heartless misconduct of the
defendant were sufficiently proved by the evidence of
the father and a servant of the family ; while his vin-
dictive behaviour in the presence of the magistrate
afforded abundant confirmation of the charge.
Mr. HENRY lectured the defendant without making
any visible impression upon his mind, and then
ordered him to keep the peace for four months. In
default of the requisite sureties (two in 501. each) he
was committed to prison for that period.

Mr. Edward Denman,one of the corporation corn-

upon Mrs. Emma Kirkness, the wife of a commercial
trniraTivl:hele complainairtlit,Felaluwlaeds;Plliakcee,' Kdeinlicagsitaeiu-dlOoking
woman, in an advanced stage of pregnancy, stated
that the defendant, who was a friend of her husband,
and. had taken tea with the family on Monday
se nnight, when Mr. Kirkness intimated his intention
to proceed upon a journey the following morning,
knocked at the door on the evening of that day, and,
on its being opened by the servant, asked if her
master was at home, and on being answered in the
negative walked straight into the kitchen, where the
witness was seated. After taking a chair at the table
he expressed a wish to have some supper, and, hand-
ing some money to the servant-girl, requested her to
procure some ham and porter in the neighbourhood.
The instant she bad gone out for that purpose the de-
fendant abruptly invited her to place herself upon
his knee, stating that he was an old married man, and
that she had nothing to fear from him. Witness in-
dignantly rejected the overture, upon which the de-
fendant knelt down before her and kissed her several
times, and at the same time pressed her knees down
upon the chair and insisted that she should return
the salute. She used her best endeavours to extricate
herself from his grasp, but the defendant held her so
firmly thet she could not, declaring that he would release
her at once if she complied with his request, and
feeling greatly alarmed and agitated, she was com-
pelled to do so to escape from further violence. The
defendant then released her, and hearing the servant
at the door, she hastened to admit her, when the de-
fendant, after eating the provisions she had purchased
and pressing the witness to partake of them, which
she declined, desired her to send the girl out again
for some cheese and pickles. This she positively re-
fused to do, when the prisoner authoritatively ordered
the servant to go for them, and having again given
her money, and thrust her out of the room, witness
directed her to leave the door open and return again
