LAMBETH.

When Mr. Elliott was about to leave the bench, Mr.
John Frazer, the proprietor of the National Bat'es
the Westminster•road, accompanied by his wife and two
friends, entered the court and requested that bail might
be taken for himself and his wile to appear at the next
session to be holden for the county of Surrey, to answer
to an indictment for a misdemeanour.
From the statement of one of the friends of Mr.
Frazer, it appeared that for some time past efforts had
teen made by two men named Rawlins and Jacobs, and
an attorney's clerk named How (the latter of whom has
become notorious from his volunteering his evidence in
the case of the miscreant Rush), to obtain money from
Mr. Frazer, by charging him with permitting music and
dancing at the baths without a licence. They in the
first place threatened to proceed by qui tarn actions to
recover penalties of 1001. for each offence. In the next
they modestly offered to accept 501. as a compromise of
the whole case, and finding their terms not acceded to,
they preferred a bill of indictment before the grand
jury assembled at the Session-house, Newington•cause-
way, last week, for a misdemeanour. The grand jury
returned true bills against Mr. Frez_r and his wife, and
the object of the parties in coming before the magis-
trates was to prevent their being locked up, which they
would have been had the parties prosecuting been af-
forded time to take out a judge's warrant.
Mr. ELLIOTT at once accepted two sureties in 801.
each, and by this means the liberty of the parties will
not only be protected, but they will be saved mnch'petty
annoyance which the prosecutors, if so disposed, could
put them to.

DARING BURGLARY NEAR
GRAVESEND.

At the county magistrates' office, Rochester, on
Friday, present the Rev. G. Davies, and a full bench
of magistrates, Reuben Parker, alias Hampstead Fred,
was brought up by Everist, superintendent of the
constabulary, charged with having, on the Ist of
June, 1849, feloniously and burglariously entered the
dwelling-house of Augustus Munyard, at Milliker
Farm, Meapharn, near Gravesend, and stealing two
watches, several rings, wearing apparel, and other
articie, valued at 801., and at the same time with
feloniously striking and beating Mr. Munyard.
Mr. Munyard proved that between eleven and
twelve o'clock on the night in question he was
aroused by the smashing of his bedroom window,
through which, by means of a ladder, four or more
men entered his room, each carrying a lighted can-
dle. They had caps or stockings drawn over their
faces, with holes cut through for eyes, white frocks
or shirts over the upper part of their bodies, and each
armed with a bludgeon about two feet long. He was
alone at the time, Mrs. Munyard having just left the
room with the candle to go to one of the children,
who was ill. One of the burglars had a little jemmy
or crow• bar, with which he struck him over the
head. He bad never recovered any of the stolen pro-
perty. One of the party was about the prisoner's
height, and strongly built, but he would not swear
to him. The men in the room called out to one on
the ladder, " Look out, Turpin ; and if anybody
comes blow their brains out or do for them."

Several other witnesses were examined, connecting
the prisoner with the burglary and the evidence of
John Pryer, one of the burglars, who bad been ad-
mitted as Queen's evidence, fully proved his guilt.
The prisoner, who it appears was closely connected
with the burglars of Holford-house, 3ikgent's-park,
declined putting any questions to the witnesses, saying
he was an innocent man. From his determined chat
meter, and having threatened the constable, he was
heavily ironed, his hand being chained to his leg, and
in that manner was conveyed to the county gaol for
trial at the next assizes.
