CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.)

An elderly gentleman came before Mr. Combo with a [news-
paper in his hand, and stated that he wished to have a statement
which was made in that Court, and which appeared in the public
newspapers, rectified.
Mr. Comm said he could not allow the public time to be
frittered away in explanations of paragraphs in newspapers.
V., hat was the precise nature of the gentleman's application.
The applicant said his name was Seers, and the same indi-
vidual against whom the Rev. Mr. Evans, minister of John's
Chapel, Bedford-row, complained before his Worship a few days
ago. Air. Evans on that occasion stated, that he (Mr. Seers)
was in the habit of disturbing his congregation during the
hours of divine service by standing up and addressing them.
Now, he wished to rectify this.
Mr. Comm said the Rev. Mr. Evans had certainly applied
to him for protection against the disturbance alluded to. He
(Mr. Combe) told him to warn the intruder, whoever he might
be, of the impropriety of his conduct, and to warn him that if
he persevered, he would be taken into custody ; and he would
now recommend Mr. Seers, if he had committed the disturb-
ance, not to repeat it.
The applicant thanked the Magistrate, anti left the Court.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
lVilliarn Holder, a respectable-looking man, a traveller, in
the employment of Mr. Flockton, the extensive turpentine
manufacturer, in Bermondsey, was brought before Mr. Cot-
tingham, charged with embezzling moneys to a considerable
amount, the property of his employer.
Mr. Flockton stated that the prisoner had been in his employ
for some length of time. He was usually engaged in soliciting
orders for goods and collecting money from the customers. Of
late, it had been discovered that he had received various sums
of money, which it was his duty to have accounted for, but
which he had not done. The complainant added, that if the
prisoner was remanded, he would bring several cases against him.
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was remanded.
Thomas Barker and Ann Barker, his wife, were charged on
suspicion with committing a robbery under the following cir-
cumstances:—
It appeared the prisoner and his wife lived in Providence..
row, Walworth, and that on Monday night last she alarmed the
neighbourhood by saying that her house was entered and robbed
while she was out. A neighbour having entered the house
found some of the rooms in a state of confusion, and the pro-
perty of a Mr. Ellis, a lodger,
consisting of clothes and jewel-
lery, removed. From subsequent examination of the premises
by the police, it was strongly suspected that the house had not
been entered by thieves, no marks of violence nor footmarks
being observed, and therefore the suspicion rested against the
prisoners, who were accordingly given into custody.
The prisoners, who declared their innocence of the alleged
offence, were remanded.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITIIEATRE.—The grand
spectacle of the Battle of Waterloo has been revived at this
theatre with more than its pristine splendour ; and, what is
better than all, with Gomersal as Napoleon. He appears
with undiminished powers, and his resemblance to the portraits
of the Emperor is as great as ever. He was much applauded
throughout by a very crowded house ; and there is no doubt
but that this piece will have as great a run on its revival as it
had when originally produced.
