of age, was indicted for stealing cigars from a tobacconok
shop in Camden-town. The case having gone to the PT,
they called for the cigars, and upon inspecting them, it
found that they were cheroots and not cigars. Mr. PreLgl:ol
gest remarked that he defended a prisoner who was inkis
some time since at the Old Bailey for stealing cigars, but,,,h” •
acquitted under a similar informality in the indictment- „lig.
Chairman, on these grounds, ordered the jury to acquu'
prisoner.

At Queen-square, a very smartly-dressed young maw,
gave his name Charles Francis Kay, was brought before,..,
magistrate, charged with begging. The charge having
proved, Mr. Bond said a person of his dress and appeursll
could have no possible excuse for begging, although a ,
Yr
son driven by poverty and starvation might ; nor could e:,
fendant plead ignorance of the law, as he had been befl
committed. He had grossly imposed upon the public, all
he should therefore commit him for one month, as 14 Llor„
appeared to have no effect upon him.

turned out when they became violent, and that every in
was used to keep the house respectable. Mr, Jardine at

was otherwise, for there was proof that the landlord be.120,;#
most properly in clearing his house. He dismissed the '"
formation. -
A precisely similar information was heard against igt
Cooper, the landlord of the Three Tuns, Houghton-Ig%
Clare-market, but it being clearly proved that all P°s';is
means were used to clear the house,. Mr. Jardine als°

,MPROVEMENTS IN GLASS."--Mr. Apsley
the Falcon Glass Works, Blackfriars, whose many ixnPrj,tic•
ments in glass are already favourably known to the Pt. de-
has recently taken advantage of a principle ingeniounto
fined by Professor Cowper, of King's College, and hylet.
the latter gentleman, by successive layers of trailscir
pasteboard, produces complimentary colours, the sere of is
sults being obtained by Mr. Pellatt by thereseutegheie
block of solid coloured glass in an ornamentalmould-.
the glass is thinnest and the mould is pressed ttie dee,rtbe
there is a light tint, and each tint varies acc,rJrdilig
thickness of the glass, until in its thickest warts the ceo.
mentary colour is obtained. Thus, in h'piece of. P ,TOG
while in its thinnest parts the pattern is a beautiLm,e'
violet, the colour and tone varies, until in the less ;3„„ e
rent parts it approaches to a deep rich green—the pc
mentary colour of purple. This discovery is at preeellepted'
tied no further than in the formation of panes of anal°, sed
glass for the illumination in colours of large wingeiveo;oli.
as the process does not involve expense,
or require Sndoir
cated machinery to carry it out, this new style of 7;_des-
decoration will be brought within the reach of most .; jot
There are some specimens of what has as yet been doeSt-
this at the Exhibition of the Decorative Works at then Bazaar, although not mentioned in the
?pfd
In these, however, the complimentary colours—the, 1.11„ &Or'
markable feature in the adaptation of a philosoPptin the:
very to a useful purpose—are scarcely perceptible,. iLveink
angle or sufficiency of light not having been studied in Pis
