THIS DAY'S NEWS.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a full Bench of Magistrates.)
THE LATE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF GAMBLERS AT THE

WEST END.

This day being appointed for hearing appeals, the court
was crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear the cases
of those individuals who had appealed against the decisions
of several of the metropolitan Magistrates, who sentenced
them to various terms of imprisonment, and inflicted fines,
some of which amounted to 501., for being either proprietors
and managers of gambling-houses, or being found upon the
premises when the police, in a large body, and simulta-
neously, stormed a great many of those dens of iniquity
in the neighbourhood of Leicester. square and St. James's.
The names of the appellants were John Barlow, William
Cauty (better known as Captain Cauty), William Smith,
Joseph Everett, and William Allan.
Mr. Clarkson and several of the gentlemen of the bar
who were engaged on either side appealed to the Learned
Chairman as to the propriety of entering upon this appeal
now, as they had to go on circuit to-morrow, and it would
be quite impossible to close the sessions in one day.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS concurred in the views of the Learned
Gentlemen, and said that the best course to adopt would be
to defer the hearing of these appeals to the October sessions.
They were then fixed for Oct. 25.
The Court then proceeded to hear parochial affairs, in which
there appeared no feature of general interest.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Two women named Carton and O'Leary were charged with
violently assaulting Elizabeth M'Donald, residing in Ultra-
grove, Chalk-road, Islington.
It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that
between seven and eight o'clock last night, the prisoners
went. to Ultra-grove, Chalk road, a row of small houses, and
knocked at the gates leading into them. They inquired for
a " stout woman," but were answered by the female living
there that they knew of no such person. .Their whole inten-
tion however, seemed to be to get the women out who lived
in the cottages, for Mrs. King, one of the housekeepers, had
no sooner made her appearance, than the prisoners fell
upon her, and gave her an unmerciful beating.
Mrs. M'Donald another housekeeper, came to the
rescue of her fallen friend, but she shared the fate of her
companion, and speedily measured her length on, the ground.
All the other landladies came to the combat, but they all
proved unequal to contend with these Amazons, who regu-
larly stripped for the conflict. Bonnets, caps, and gowns,
were torn to ribbons, and the precious ringlets of these staid
old matrons were scattered over the field of battle. The
women screamed, the children cried, the dogs barked, and
the whole of the quiet locality of Chalk-road was " thrown
into a state of great excitement," when luckily two policemen
came up, and by taking the two prisoners into custody put
an end to further disturbances.

O'Leary was discharged, as the evidence did not reach her,
but Curtan was fined 11., which was paid immediately.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Michael Miley was charged with robbing a
young woman,
named Malern, of ten sovereigns, under the following cir-
cumstances—
It appeared the complainant had received two sovereigns
at a club, of which she was a member, on the preceding night.
Soon afterwards she met a young woman, her acquaintance,
and took her into a public house to treat her. On paying
for the liquor she produced the two sovereigns, which were
tied up in her handkerchief, and the circumstance being
witnessed by the prisoner, who was standing in front of the
bar, he followed the complainant out of the house, and when
she arrived at rather an unfrequented spot he rushed upon the
affrighted girl, and snatching the handkerchief which con-
tained the two sovereigns ran down a turning. She, how-
ever, raised an alarm, which being heard by a policeman, who
seeing the prisoner running, stopped him, and found the hand-
kerchief containing the two sovereigns in his possession. The
complainant added that she had since been threatened by
some of the prisoner's companions.
Mr. CorriNcpA3t dealt summarily with the charge, and
committed the prisoner for three months to. the House of
Correction.
