INGRAM AND COOK V. STRANGE.

Mr. Crowder and Mr. Bramwell appeared for the
plaintiffs. No counsel appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiffs were the proprietors of the London
Illustrated News, and the defendant was the book-
seller who has already been brought before the pub.
lie for pirating Prince Albert's etchings, and who,
Mr. Ihron Alderson remarked at the close of this
case, seemed inclined to fly at all game high and low.
The action was brought for printing, publishing, and
selling exact copies of the cover, with its designs
and illustrations prepared by the plaintiffs, for bind-
ing up the half-yearly volume of their journal for
the half-vear, from January to June, 1848. It was
stated that the defend.int had been in the habit
of prepring and selling great numbers of copies
of the covers prepared by the plaintiffs each half-
year for binding up their journal; that when they
discovered the fraud they applied to the defendant
to desist ; that he refused ; that they then (in
January, 1849) obtained an injunction to restrain
him ; and, as usual, leave to bring an action, and
commenced the action ; that in consequence of his
being unable to pay damages or costs they did not
wish to incur expense in proceeding against him, and
offered to his solicitors to waive all claim for damages
if he would undertake to abstain from imitating their
covers in future. It was also stated that this offer
was declined, and that the defendant, last January,
moved in Chancery to discharge the injunction, for
want of prosecution, and gave notice that if the
plaintiffs did not proceed at law, he would apply for
judgment of non pros, and that the plaintiffs were
by these proceedings forced to bring this action into
court.

The case was fully proved, and the counsel for
the plaintiffs saying they wanted only nominal
damages, with a view to the question of right and the
proceedings in equity, the damages were assessed at
405., and his Lordship certified for costs.

MIDDLESEX S'ESSIOIVS, April 24.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and
a Bench of .'Magistrates.)
TIM ARGYLL ROOMS.

The grand jury in the course of the day brought
into Court four t-ue bills of indictment against
George French Bryer, Robert Bigrell, Christopher
Browne, and Etnile Laurent, the elder, for a misde-
meanour, in keeping the Argyll R -oals, in Great
Windmill-street, Haymarket, open for music and
dancing without being licensed in pursuance of the
25th George 11.
The informer Stowell then handed in some affi-
davits, upon which he prayed that warrant might be
issued in the usual course.

The Learned JUDGE inquired whether the parties
were not at the present moment under an indictment
in respect of these rooms, and whether the offence
now alleged was not committed at the same time in
both eases ?
Sowell replied in the affirmative.

Mr. O'BRIEN said he had been instructed to apply
on behalf of the defendants that any warrant which
the Court might grant should nit issue until Friday,
as some of them were out of town, and would be till
that day. On that day the parties would be pre-
pared to come in and give bail. There were, however,
already indictments against the same dt-fendants at the
instance if the same person, in respect of which, so
far as some of the defendants were concerned, a nolle
prosequi had been entered, pending in the Central
Criminal Court.

Tne Learned JUDGE said he should grant the ap
plication of the Learned Counsel.

Charles King, aged 15, was indicted for having
fraudulently obtained by false pretences the sums cf
12s. and Hi. from Mr. W. Pinney, M.P., and Mr. J.
Bonham Carter, M.P., their property, with intent to
cheat and defraud them.

Mr. Payne appeared for the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's
and of Tozer, a servant, that on the 30th of January
the defendant went to their residence in Berkeley-
square, and presented a receipt for 14s. for a copy of
the modern edition of " Whateley on the Common
Prayer," which had been delivered for Mr. Pinney,
and which the receipt alleged had been ordered some
time previously by a member of that gentleman's
family. Under the impression that this statement
was correct, Mr. Pinney gave 14s. to Tozer, and told
him to pay the sum to the defendant. This instruc-
tion was in due course carried out; but it sub-
sequently was discovered that the book had not been
ordered, and, moreover, that the publishing price was
only 3s. 61. Steps were thereupon taken, which re-
sulted in the apprehension of the defendant. When
he was searched a large number of similar receipts
were found upon him. Similar proofs were also
given in respect of the fraud upon Mr. Carter.
The jury found the defendant Guilty.
The Learned JUDGH sentenced him to six months'
imprisonment and hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
IVES'TMINSTER.

Thomas Powell, a middle-aged Irishman, who de-
scribed himself as an artist, was charged with sending
threatening letters to the Earl of Besborougb.
His LORDSHIP stated that he had received a num-
ber of abusive letters, bearing the same signature,
but none couched in so violent a strain as the two he
now produced, which were the subject of the present
charge.
The two letters alluded to were put in in evidence
and read by Mr. W. Taylor, the chief clerk. The
first bore date July 27, and after abusing his Lord..
ship in unmeasured terms fur having neglected to
answer his previous communications, recommended
him to do him justice, and that speedily ; and then
said :—" Du not drive me to become a second Mac.
naughten ; his imaginary wrongs drove him to
rmad-
ness—my real ones may have a similar termination."
The writer, after stating that he had been unable
from illness produced by persecution he had received,
to follow his profession for the last eighteen months,
again entreated his Lordship " not to convert him
into another Macnaughten," and signed himself
" Thomas Powell."

The second letter, which was dated I.sth inst., was
a tissue of the most violent abuse and invective, un-
sparingly heaped upon his Lordship, the late Earl,
and his father. The threat it contained was, that in
the writer's peregrinations through town in search of
his Lordship he bad brought a good stick in his
hand to support his tottering steps, and to lay about
his Lordship's shoulders, unless he gave him copies of
informations he had exhibited against some persons in
Ireland, and other papers, and the letter concluded
by stating—" I will await your return here, and at
your peril refuse," and bore the same signature as the
other.

Mr. James Russell, superintendent of the B divi-
sion, who had apprehended defendant upon a warrant,
stated that on the 31st of January he went to him at
the address given in his letters, in obedience to an
order froni Mr. Mayne, Commissioner of Police, and
told the accused that if he continued to write letters of
this description to the Earl of Besborough he would
be charged before a magistrate. The accused, who
admitted that he had sent the letters, said that he
would desist as far as writing was concerned, but
would annoy his Lordship in the street. Witness
told him he might rest assured that if he attempted
such a course he would be taken into custody; and in
consequence of what he said witness had had a con-
stable in plain clothes following him ever since.
Mr. BRODERIP—You have bad an eye kept upon
him since that time ? Mr. Russell—Yes, sir, con-
tinually.

Mr. BRODERIP (to his Lordship)—Do you pray
the protection of the law ? His Lodship—l put my-
self under the protection of the law.
Mr. BRODERIP (to defendant)—Have you anything
to say in answer to the charge ? Defendant—l don't
know that I said to Mr. Russell that I would desist
from writing.
Mr. BRODERIP (to the superintendent)—Are you
positive that he said he would desist from writing, bat
would annoy his Lordship in the street ? Mr. Russell
—Quite positive.
Defend.mt said that he wished to be put in posses-
sion of the papers for which he had applied to his
Lordship, and which were withheld.
Mr. Baonaair observed that if there were such
papers—and he did not assume that such was the case
—it would b, no excuse in the eye of the law for
writing such letters us those produced to any subject
of the Queen.

Defendant suggested that if the case was adjourned
it would afford him an opportunity of having a pro-
fessional man, as his (defendant's) nervous system
was so deranged he could hardly collect his ideas.
Mr. BRODERIP thought an adjournment unneces-
sary, as the simple question was whether defendant
had written these letters containing language amount-
ing to threats. Whatever cause he might have,
nothing could :ustify such letters.
Defendant then entered into a rambling, incoherent
statement of conversations his father and himself had
had with the late Earl, and the support which his
(defendant's) father gave the late Earl by voting fur
hidi Af.er being thrimn from a jaunting car in a
general fight with the partisans of the opposing can-
itida:e for Kilkenny, when in consequence of the
in-
juries receiv,d, he was carried to the hustings by
f air men, and poll. d while in the greatest agony, and
in a dying st.ite. He then declared that his family
had been driven from the 13esborough estate, and
that the papers, with some lettere, for which he had'

After defendant's cccupyingso:ne time in irrelevant
matter.
Mr. BRODERIP asked his L -;rdship if be kae
anything t f the papers to which the defendant
alluded?
H s Lordship replied that he remembered de;

did nut know what became of any pipers collect!

Mr. BRODERIP observed, that if defendant had hadt
the most talented advocate in the world he could 11°
have argued that the letters did not contain threats._
Ile had listened to all defendant had said, and the cgs:
stood just as before ; and if there was any weigntat,

THAMr_S.
Philip Green, a labourer, 26 years of age, residing
at .:hart-green-yard, Whitechapel, was charged ar''s
having caused the death of Thomas Coppartlavvaitel
drayman. The case was one of considerable inter°d
inasmuch as that, to a considerable extent, it inycarift,

6th inst., the prisoner was brought to this court "bre
fare Mr. Ingham, charged with having assaultedr,„t„,

in
street, Whitechapel, and the prisoner was coolfge
with a truck in the opposite direction. Though the
was full room to pass the prisoner would not Maioo
way, and when the deceased attempted to moss
truck, Green knocked him down unawares, when
wheel of the dray passed over his ankle, fealla''
crushing the bones, and the tendons. On that er
dente the prisoner was fined 51., which sum Wait ;re
stantly paid. Copparthwaite subsequently died w• ,
injury, and an inquest being held on the body, a veba
diet of manslaughter was returned against Greellt:i

The evidence was, however, of a different charan'ss
from that given on the previous occasion. ltWco.
shown that during the altercation prisoner a",, hes
ceased were sparring together, that deceased fell W".O

Mr. YARDLEY said that the evidence Was —, cora

occasion; he would therefore admit him to ball if%
his own recognizances, but it was probable that t,
ford, the constable who held the coroner's warr-I,°er
would take him into custody. L would be tat';
hard, but ti.e coroner's jury had come to the eoaniti
sion that he caused the death of the deceased. big
The prisoner was then admitted to bail,
