SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
SCOTT V. OSBORNE.
This was an action to recover the sum of 51. for rent
dus for a cottage at Upwell, Norfolk.
Mr. Duncan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser-
geant Chadwick Jones for the defendant.
The facts were these:—The cottage in question was
lately occupied by a widow Hartley, and the rent was
Haid by the parish, but on the death of Mr. Abraham
artley, her son, she, by his will, became entitled to an
annuity of 201. per annum. Defendant administered to
the estate of the deceased, which was insufficient to pay
the annuity or other demands. The present action was
brought on defendant's individual promise to pay,
although it was made before he had ascertained the
state of the affairs of the deceased.
The SECONDARY left it to the jury to say whether
the evidence showed the intention to incur a personal
liability.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

• MANSION-HOUSE—(THIS DAY.)
POCKET PICKING.—John Jones was brought up '
on•
befoate
cha Mr. Aldermen Carden, by policeman 51,
• rge.: of picking the pocket •of a gentle-
. man on London-bridge of a silk handkerchief
yes-
. terday afternoon. The evidence as to the commission
of the offence was perfectly conclusive, but John Jones's '
victim, probably unaware of his foss, was not -present.
The denials of the prisoner were ludicrously indignant..
• Frotn.his statement it would appear thathe got his living
.by hawking different articles in a barrow; still he was generally in the habit of using a fine Bandana silk
handkerchief', delicately scented, with his initials worked
la hair on it. Ilia worship, however, did not seem to
• attach much credit to this account of himself, and sen-
t teneel the prisoner to two months hard labour, also re-
• fusing to grant his very modest request that the band.
• kerchief might be restored to him.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS I)AY.)
• A young man named Lepbridge, who was described
as a scene. shifter at the New Su and Theatre, was
charged with the following dreadful assault.
William Rae, a scene painter's assistant at the Strand
Theatre, stated that yesterday afternoon the prisoner
and Matthews, the carpenter of the house, came in
• drunk and began quarrelling. The prisoner wanted to
fight the gas fitter, but Matthews said before the gas
fitter should be struck he would have a set-to as his
champion. When the time approached for opening the
' theatre they were still wrangling, and, perceiving that
du prisoner was too far gone in liquor to be competent
to discharge his duty, witness applied to him for the plot.
• Mr. HENRY—The plot! What is that?
The witness explained that it was the scenes that would
be required fen the play of the evening. Although the
request was made with the best intentions—witness in-
. tending to take the prisoner's place for the night—the
prisoner was very much exasperated at it, and began to
abuse Matthews, in language which witness did not feel
disposed to repeat. The prisoner acted more like a
' madman than•a rational being, and vowed that he would
have the-life of Matthews. Matthews saw that there was
determination in his manner, and, at the instigation of
witness, he escaped from the stage to the boxes; but the
prisoner, haling overcome witness's efforts to hold him
back by almost twisting off the two front fingers of his
• right hand, pursued Matthews, and ultimately caught him
- in.the upper proscenium boxes. A terrible struggle there
took place, and in the end witness was horror-stricken at
Geeing the prisoner and Matthews roll over the side of
the box aiid fall into the orchestra. A piece of the stage
' Was carried awn y and a kettle drum destroyed by the
fal ; but had the injury stopped there, it would not
, mnoh have mattered. Unfortunately, however, witness, .
On rushing to the assistance of Matthews, found him
, completely insensible, and so frightfully was he injured,
that it was at once thought advisable to carry him to the
hospital, where he now lies in a state of delirium. The
prisoner, who did not receive much injury from the fall,
tot content with having been the origin of all this •
chief, became, if possible, still more vi lent and mouist--
rageous, and the upshot was that he had to be given into
thwcustody of the police.
Mr. HENRY asked the
to say? Prisoner if he had anything
The prisoner replied, that he was very sorry for what
had happened ; but the fact was, Matthews exasperated
'bini by calling him opprobrious names.
• P,oe stated that the prisoner was an industrious, in-
offensive man when sober, but he was a perfect maniac
Whenever he got a little drink in him.
Mr. HENRY said he should remand the case CH
' Matthews was sufficiently recovered to attend and give
evidence.
The prisoner was accordingly removed in custody.
MARLBRO -STREET--(THIs DAN.)
• AN IMPORTUNATE BEGGAR.—A
Getman Jew, who
gave the name' of Olster, was broughman t before Mr. Hard-
',
quis of chargedristol with begging of and annoying the Mar-
-B. Police-constable 139 C stated that on the previous
afternoon he was on duty in St. James's-sqarc, when
• ha saw the Marquis of Bristol leave his residence and
get into his cab. Just as the Marquis Was on the point
of driving off the prisoner rushed forward and in an
. insolent manner demanded alms. The Marquid refused
to relieve him, and drove away. The prisoner, nothing
, danntrd,followed him and jumped up behind the Mar-
quis's cab. Witness ran after him, and in St. James's.
street the cab stopped, and the prisoner was taken into
custody.
The prisoner, in defence, denied the charge of beg-
ging, and said he was a baptised Jew, and his object in
calling upon the Marquis of Bristol was this. The Mar-
quis was chairman of the Society for Promoting Chris-
tianity amongst the Jews, and as he (defendant) was a
converted Jew, and in distress, he thought the Marquis
might do something for him. Defendant added that he
had a rich uncle in the city, but in consequence of his
forsaking the ancient faith, he would have nothing to do
with him.
Committed for fourteen days.
CL

_ERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A young Irishman, named Sidtva,,, and C'tia/fiad, a
prostitute, were placed before Mr. Combo, charged with
erecting a disturbance and breaking some window...
It appeared that both the prisoners entered the King's
Head public-house, Leather-lane, last night about ten
o'clock, in a state of intoxication, and began creating a
disturbance, and on the landlord attempting to turn
them out, the female used some bad language, and after
striking him laid hold of his hair and dragged him upon
the floor. The male prisoner incited her on to the
attacks, and when the landlord and the female prisoner
were lying struggling on the ground, he gave the former
a violent blow on the head. At length both of the par-
tite were ejected from the house, and on getting outside
the females at the instigation of the man, broke four

f

pares of plate glass which were in the door, and they
were corkequently given into oust ,dy.
The female prisoner admitted breaking the glass, but
denied the assault, as did also the male prisoner.
Mr. CoslnE ordered the female to pay 155., the value
cf the windows, or to undergo twenty-one days' impri-
sonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour,
and the male to pay 205., or to be imprisoned for
fourteen days.

The Court was occupied from half-past ten to half-past
one in hearing cases for drunken and disorderly con-
duct, the number of which at this holiday-making pe-
riod of the year is always subject to a very considerable
increase.

THE AWFUL WRECK OF THE

ROYAL ADELAIDE STEAMER.

PARTICULARS RECEIVED THIS DAY.

Anxious inquiries were made this morning at Lloyd's
as to whether any intelligence had been received from
any French ports of any portion of the passengers and
crew of the ill-fated steamer being p'elied up alivo.
Hones have existed that some might have escaped, and

it was thought probable, there being frequent instance;
of vessels being lost on the Goodwin and Margate sands,
and the crows rescued by the French loggers. No such_
preservation do the unhappy creatures on board of the
Royal Adelaide appear to have met with, and no doubt
now exists that every soul was lost. The secretary of
Lloyd's this morning is without the least information
on the melancholy subject.
The London agent of the City of Dublin Steam Nevi

gation Company, Mr. Hartley, has favoured us with a
copy of a letter he received this morning from the agent
of Lloyd's, at Margate :
" Lloyd's Agency, Margate, April 2, 1850.
" Sir,—We confirm our respects of yesterday, and beg
to inform you that since oar last night's report nothing
more has been brought in from the unfirtunate Royal
Adelaide, and no further information obtained as to the
fate of the crew and passengers.
" Two cutters have been sent on to protect the pro-
perty, and the receiver of droits intends going to the
wreck himself to endeavour to organize a working com-
pany. Notice has also been given to the different Coast-
guard stations to keep a good look-out. A number of
Whitstable smacks, and Margate and Ramsgate- boats,-
are around her, and two divers at work. Should the
weather continue fine, as it now is, we hove no doubt but
that a good deal of the cargo will be recovered.
" We remain, Sir, yours, &c.,
" GEORGE HAMMOND and Co., Lloyd's Agents.
" G. Hartley, Esq."
It is the intention of Mr. Hartley to dispatch Mr.
Davidson, the manager of the company's wharf at Lower
East Smithfield, to Margate to-night, for the purpose of
obtaining an accurate description of the bodies that may
be washed up from the ocean, and seeing to their proper,
and respectful interment.
The company is in expectation of receiving advices
from Cork this afternoon by the arrival of one of their
steamers, which are likely to furnish more detailed in-
formation as to the exact number of passengers who have
met with a watery grave.
The statement found in another part of our paper, in
reference to the conduct of the people at Margate not
hearing the signals fired during the night the Royal
Adelaide was lost, is somewhat at variance with the re-
ports made by the two pilots, who saw the Royal Ade-
laide steam into the Prince's Channel scarcely two hours
before it is supposed she ran on the sands. They dis-
tinctly state that they saw several rockets fired in the
direction of the Prince's Channel, and heard the report
of the signal distress-gun. Mr. Hartley, the agent of
the company, informs us that the Royal Adelaide was
not provided with large guns, consequently the reports
heard must have proceeded from the Tongue light-ship.
The steamer had rockets and other signal fires on board,
and was provided with the number of boats required
under the Act which regulates steam-vessels.
As some doubts have been expressed as to the severity
of the weather during the night on which the Royal
Adelaide was lost, we may state that the violence of the
gale for the time it lasted has not been equalled for some
years; and that is the opinion of the oldest boatmen on
this part of the coast. Numerous losses have been re-
ported on all points of the Channel, and the Preussischer
Adler, Captain Tooker, which has arrived in the river
from Cork, announces the night to have been boisterous
and peculiarly dark. This vessel brought over nearly
300 deck passengers—men, women, and children—and
in order to screen them as much as possible from the
surf; which was making way over the craft, and killed
about a dozen beasts, the commander very humanely
had as many as possible of the children taken down into
the engine-room, where they procured warmth and
shelter. This may convey some idea of the wretched
sufferings of those on board the Royal Adelaide pre-
viously to their destruction.

The accounts received this morning at Lloyd's from
their respective agents on the east coast communicate
the ending of more pieces of wreck and wearing apparel
belonging to the sufferers. A deal of it has been found
in the Swin, and this is accounted for from the fact
that at the time of the wreck, and her breaking up, the
weather had somewhat moderated, and the tide revers-
ing, drifted the broken fragments towards the north
seas. The many luggers that went out to the wreck on
Sunday have picked up a considerable quantity, but
from its shattered state it is doubtful whether it can be
brought into use.
As will be seen, however, by the above letter strong
hopes are entertained that a. great portion of the cargo
will be recovered by-divers, shouldi.laa fine weather con-,
tinue. This day at noon the wind had got up consi-.
dercbly, and if it extends to the west it mutt necessarily
retard the operations.
It is stated in the Times and other ,papers of this
morning, that the Royal Adelaide was wrecked within a
few cables' ler gth- of the spot where a German
emigrant ship went to pieces in October last, -with •
nearly two hundred lives. This is perfectly in-
correct. The vessel alluded to was the Floridian,
bound from Antwerp to New York, and was lost
on the Long Sand nearly abreast of Harwich, some 30
or 40 miles from the Tongue. A barque from the West
Indies to London, named the Sarah, met with destruc-

tion, and all hands (about 15 or 16) on or near the
Tongue during the fearful gale in January last, and that
is the only serious fatal loss that has taken place near
the spot for soma time. The circumstances attending
the fate of the ill-fated steamer are quite painful enough
without introducing the harrowing details of other losses
which had nothing to do with the difficulties of the
shoals near Margate. Besides, the German vessel was
lost more than 12 months ago, and not in October last.
