'hamar Hayes, and Eleanor his wife, were Charged
with keeping u ecraloon brothel, at No. 2, Chureh-street.!
St.

Stunuel Furzeman' chief constable of St. Giles's.ststeil
that it was one of the worst houses in the parish;
frequently seen females of bad character entice drunken
men to go in with them, who, when there, have been

robbed; he has seen both teirudes and pickpockets stand-

,inif at the door in granites, and he has often been in pur-
suit of thieves, who have obtafned reenge in that house,
and have escaped in consequence. .There have been fre-
quent riots in the place; in fact, no man could pass
down the street without danger of being robbed and as-
saulted.

Croas-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—It is a lodging-
house, where all persons may be indiscriminately _lodged.
There are several other such dwellings in the parish. I
have not been refused admittance within this last year, but
had been before. There were both males and females of
all ages there.
John Green, beadle, corroborated this Atatement.
WilliaM Price, a conductor of patrol, knew it to be the
refuge of thieves, prostitutes, &e. •
Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—Passed the
house twice every .night, and had not seen any females en-
tice men to go into tie house with them.

Mr. PREN-DERGAsm observed to the Jury that there was
no evidence to prove the first count of the indictment, and
contended
.that the house was no other than a, common
lodging house. • .
Mr. MARRYATT, in summing up, observed, that by the
laws of this country no wife, who acts under the direction
of her husband, can be found guilty of the same offence.
He therefore directed them to diScharge her, and left it to
their own discretion whether the male prisoner was guilty
or not.

The Jury, after some hesitation, found the wife Not
Guilty, and the busbtuid Guilty. _ - -

Tlie CHAU:m.4N sentenced him to three mouths' hard
labour.

Thomas Lock:ton was indicted for embezzling a sum
of money, the property of Messrs. Paul and Roberts,

count as paid to Hicks, one of the workmen, whereas he
had only paid him 1/. 3s. 4.d. 0r thereabouts, and appro-
priated the surplus 14s. Bd. to his own use.
Mr. Apowius attended for the prosecutors.
The prisoner made no defence, but threw himself on the
mercy of the Court.
He was then indicted on another charge of obtaining
from his employers money for making two coats fora Mr.
Burkitt, who now proved that he had bad but one. The
