MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

- .
John Miller, a respectably-dressed young man, was charged
with having maliciously damaged an organ, the property of
an itinerant Italian musician, named Jean Corti.
The complainant was not in Court to press the charge.
Mr. RAWLINSON inquired if any of the witnesses were pre-
sent, when Henry Pearson stepped forward.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Just tell me what you know of the case.
The witness stated that he observed the prisoner and a
companion dancing at the corner of Eden-street, Hampstead-
road, round the Italian, who was grinding at a great rate.
Then the prisoner gave the organ a couple of kicks at the
bottom, and lastly kicked it in front, and knocked in the
panel, and tore the silk. Some of those near took pity
on the Italian, as he could speak no English, and ran for
a policeman.
The constable stated that when he came up he found the
Italian in the midst of a crowd, and he had the prisoner by
the collar. He pointed to the damage done to his organ, and
he (the constable) then took the prisoner into custody.
Mr. RawtaNsox, (to prisoner)—Well, Sir, you were prac-
tising the Polka dance, I suppose. Have you recompensed
the poor Italian for the damage done to his instrument ?
Prisoner—l gave him 4s. -
Mr. RAWLINSON—I do not think that enough ; you must
leave 6s. more, which I will take care shall reach him, and
until you leave it, I shall hold you to bail.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Mott, a private in the Coldstream Guards, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with the fol-
lowing impudent robbery:—
Mrs. Weeks, landlady of the Ring's Head, Orchard-street,
said the prisoner was in her house last night about nine
o'clock. Having had occasion to go to the front Coor, she
heard a noise at the counter, and saw the soldier in the act 01
drawing his hand from the direction ofthe till. She accused
him with robbing her, but he denied the charge. He had
ls. sd. in his hand. She could positively swear to a half-
penny, which was marked in a peculiar manner, and which
she saw in the till a short time before the robbery.
A young man who was sitting near the door of the tap-
room at the time of the occurrence, deposed to seeing the
soldier take the money from the till. .
The prisoner solemnly declared that the money was his;
that he was drunk at the time; and when in that state that
he was in the habit of carrying the money which he had
about with him in his hand. He fell by accident against the
till.—He was fully committed for trial.
