POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

NI A 111410116 UG'll-STHEE T.—Yesterday Lord Bingham,
the son of the Earl of Lucan, and the newly-elected Member for
the county of Mayo in Ireland, was charged in the watch-book
of St. James's parish with various acts of immbordinatiiiii`toWards
the " nightly watch;" and if the 'nightly watch told truth in
their statement, his Lordship and hie companion certaitilrhe-
hued in no very orderly or parliamentary manner. The night-
broil and row, it appeared, took place in St. James's-street, near,
the Guards' Cluli-house, into which establishment the watchman
stated that his Lordship and party very humanely proposed to
drag a few of the guardians of the night, and then and there to
annihilate them with pokers, &c. after the fashion charged a short
time ago upon Lord Yarborough as regarded 'some of the llond-
street night people at Stevens's Hotel.
After hearing all the details of the affair, Mr. nor., the Magi-
strate, did not think it a cue where it was necessary to hold the
accused to bail, 'and sent the whole pack, Lords, watchmen, and
all, about their business.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. Graham and his
fairer half, attended by 4 gentleman learned in the law, made an
excursion (not au aerial one) to the interior oC this office, on the
summons of Mr. King, of the Green Man public-bouse, who
complained of sundry breaches of the peace and breaches in his
pretainek occasioned by Mr., Graham's unlooked-for descent in his
neighbourhood, on Wednesday evening last.
Mr. King was unable to attend, but in his stead appeared a
very able adyocate in the person of his daughter, a very pretty
and interesting young woman, assisted by several male friends.

In the course of a warm and rather irregular discussion, it an
peered, that, immediately after Mrs. Graham's descent in a field
near the Green Man, the balloon was conveyed to Mr. King's pre-
mises by Mi. Graham, followed by an immense number of brick-
makers and others front the fields adjacent. Mr. King afterwards
presented .his bill to Mr. Graham, amounting to upwards,
of five pounds, including twenty gallons •of beer, which
had been distributed to the crowd, as Mr. King al-1
leged, •by Mr: Graham's Oder. The other charges • were for
damage done to the premises. Mr..Grahain demurred to the
payment of this hill, and the balloon being then, in an adjoni-
ing house, occupied by a tenant of Mr. King's, , the latter, as fir
as in bitn lay, endeavoured 'to prevent its restoration until his
&Mend 'Would have been liteiidated. Mr. Graham • and hie
friends, however, after reputed visits on two subsequent even-
ing', and much disturbance., succeeded in regaining poseeesion of
the balloon, and Mr, King eunntioned Mr. Graham to the office
for causing a riot and disturbance about his premises.
Mr. Graham, onhie part, made complaints both loud and deep,
.lansatt alnlestiyeeparible sustained by his balloon.

UNION-llALL.—Yesterday the bitting Magistrate, 11. J.
Cita)tnens, Esq., was occupied in the investigation, of a charge
of felony, alleged to have been, committed try's itrofessional gentle-
Man named Price. The complainant is a young: roan of nine-
teen years of age,,and of very teipeetable connections. The charge
as taken in the night constable's book against Mr. Price was as
follows Charles Letchinere 'charges Mi. Price with knock-
ing him down, and robbing hint of his pneket-Handkerchief on
Sunday morning, between the hours of two and ' three o'clock,
:near ths.Blephant and Cattstle." •
ILetoolkOre stated, that on Senility morning,,between two
And three o'clock, be am Inet by Mr. Price and some other gen-
tleman, the former of iehlitedknocke'd hiM dowii, and on rising he
felt that his pocket-handkerchief was gone ; he, therefore, accused
the person who committed the violence.with having stolen it.
Mr. Price, •whis appeared extremely indignant, here requested
to put a, few questious to the individual whp made such a chew,
which would convince the Magietrates that there was not rte
slightest grounds' or such a proceeding against him. :Mr. Price
"then put the following questions to hie accuser :7-Were you not
extremely drunk on the morning in question ?—=Answer---1 was
neither•drunk nor sober; I was rather •fresh, 1 admit.

youixelf. . •
Will you swear that you hail not, a short time previously, left

Mr. Letehmore declined answering that question, when Mr.
Price stated, that on Sunday morning, as he was returning home
to Walworth; in passing along the Borough-road he heard violent
screaming at a little distance off, 'as from a woman in'distress.—
lie hastened to the spot; but, instead of finding the shrieks to
proceed from a' female, he was not a little astonished on observing
that the outcry wait raised by Mr. Letehmore; who stood in the
midst oft crowd, 'accusing seVeral• per/meet& stealing his pocket
handkerchief... Ice (Mr. Price) perceiving that he was a: young
'Titan of decent appearance; recommended him to go home,.and not
degrade himself by OA conduct, and at the same time saying,—
"-You might.ii will' chew Ile or my friend with having'robbed
yote, am to make such a sweeping
,accusatioe against all present."
No snoner had he uttered these words, than Ale, Letelimore ex-
'.liiittietl—" Then by God you are the man 'that robbed me, .and I
now give charge of you," The compliiinent then actually 'gave
him into custody on a charge of felony. On the way to the watch-
house, Air. Price said, the complainant persisted in charging him
with robbery, and before they arrived there, he (Mr. Price) cer-
tainly Ent one thump at his head, for Mr. Letclutrort set up a
howl like a bear with a sore head. Mr. Price added, that the
coulpleinant stated the charge against him' at the watch-how,
where he (defendant) was confined until Sunday night,, at nine

Mr. •Cualintes said that he had never met with a more absurd
charge-in his life. The worthy magistrate then asked Mr..Leteh-

Several other witnesses were produced rfspeentg the negotia-
tion of the different bill& issued by 4,difentiant.
The case having closed for the prosecution,
The•Coatstox &MOUNT, fQr the defends* Hugh Rowland,
addressed the Jury, and after commenting at' great length on
the evidence, contended that there was nothing in the evidence to
Satisfy the Jury that there had ever been any conspiracy in eX-
istenee ; or that even if there had, his client; a man well known
and most highly respected in the mercantile world, was in the
-slightest degree implicated in it. , •
Mr. BaonEitcK and Mr. Pntwes having been heard at
considerable length in behalf of their respective clients, HAL.

ford ; Mr. George Waugh, an alderman of that Won ; MC. Sheriff
Crowder ; Mr. W. Magnay, son of Alderman Migitay ; and Mr.
Fynamore, of Guildford ; who had each known Mr. Hugh Row-

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 3.
waxiNsori v. TAivERSALL ANDANOTHIIt:

This was an action brought by the plaintiff,. &merchant, to:re-
cover the value of five hundred bags of 'Egyptian cotton, amount-
ing to 6,5001. and upwards. The transaction took place in 1825,
when many speculations were made in. this article ; and it was
alleged by Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, thatihe deeline in the value of
the goods between the making of the contract and their arrival
from Trieste, was the true cause of the defendant's returning the
invoice. Mr. Sekgeant Wilde, for the defence, Contended that
the contract Was void on three several grounds. First, unneces-
sary delay in sending the goods by the ship Bristol; secondly, that
the whole of the' cotton was' not of the fair average valneapeci-
; and, thirdly, that the plaintiff had acted unfairly in appro-
priating to himself the growth of 18!4; which was the best.
Many witnesses wire examined in Support of the' Contract, and
the Jury ultimately found a verdict for' the plaintiff. Damages,
6,599/. l e.
