committed.

Police-constable Nathaniel M‘Donnough, B 66, was
committed to hard labour for a mmth, for having appre-
hended Mr. James Lamb, and dragged him through the
streets in broad daylight, without the slightest excuse
for such conduct.

Thomas Shipley and John Chadd, conductors of Brent-
ford omnibuses, charged with having been found fight-
ing together at the White Horse-cellar, Piccadilly, were
held to bail by Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough-street.

at Marylebone with embezzlement, was remanded.

O'Connell, had subscribed a basket towards a large bon-
fire in Horace-street, and had put the said basket on the

On Friday a middle-aged lady, of fashionable appear-
ance, described as Mrs. Susannah Folkard, residing at 10,
Pelham-road, Brompton, appeared before Mr. T. Paynter,
the sitting magistrate at Hammersmith, to a summons, at
the instance of Colonel Francis Home, which charged
" that he goes in danger of his life, or some bodily harm,
from you—you having, on the 23d day of August last,
in the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster, unlawfully
threatened to knock him, the said Francis Home, down ;
and that if it were not for the law, you would do him a
mischief ; and use other threatening and menacing lan-
guage towards him." It appeared that a connexion of a
very intimate nature had formerly subsisted between the
colonel and the defendant, and it was eventually settled
that she should be discharged on entering into her own
recognizance..
