LA *ITINTELLIGENCE.
SHERIFFS' COURT, April 30.
(Befere Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY and a Common Jury.)
CT
This was anSEaDCUtiOni"—bron4iLNhtEbsyv.thmelLrla.intiff, William
Barnes, an engineer, in the employ of Sir John Rennie,
against Frederick Mills, his nephew, a cabinet-maker, re-
siding in Drury-lane, to recover compensation for the seduc-
tion and loss of the services of his daughter. The damages
were laid in the declaration at 1001.
Mr. NASII' in addressing the jury, said the present case
was one of the most painful that had ever been brought in a
court of justice, and a most heartless one on the part of the
defendant. The plaintiff was a man in a humble station of
society, with a family of six children, four of them girls, the
unfortunate object of the present inquiry being the eldest,
depending upon his exertions for support. The defendant
was the son of plaintitrs own sister, a young man, who,
instead of ruining his cousin, ought to have been her pro-
tector. He (the Learned Counsel) would not dilate upon
the conduct of the defendant, but leave the jury to judge of
it from the narrative he would lay before them, and the evi-
dence in support of it. The Learned Counsel then detailed
the circumstances, as afterwards brought forward in evidence,
Miss Mary Ann Barnes, an artless, simple, but pretty young
girl, was then called, and depesecl as follows i—My father i

He should furnish a room, as he had money sufficient to buy
the goods, and would get me to mind them for a fortnight,
when he would then be married. I told-My- Parents, and they
consented to my going to mind the apartment* which were
in Thomas-street, Stamford-street ',They -were furnished,
and the defendant came to see me daily,. and -left at eleven
o'clock atnight. - There was a mutal-agreement between us
that he &Muhl take no liberties with nie.;—(A laugh.) For
seine days he made no attempt to breaX:gie -agreement, but
on the Saturday night he wished me to 'alroiy :him to sleep
with me, but I refused. He then said,':.ii If you do not, I
will sleep with. the first girl I meet,. and; .hrthatcase, think

saw him the next Morning (Monday), and upbraided
him for his . conduct. lie- promised to come in
the - afternoon, but he did not, and I did not see him
again. The following Thursday I was ill in bed, 'when the
defendant's mother and sister, with a porter, came to take
away the things. I got up, and defendrnt's mother said to
the porter, "Drag away the things; never mind her." The
landlady of the-house, pitying me, sent to. my parents, and
they took Inc home. About the beginning of October, and
after The action was: brought, I met • Mills; whilst coming
home from work. He came up to me crying, and said the
action was a bad job. It began to rain, and we went into a
tavern. Whilst there, be said he would marry me if I would
go down to Gravesend with him. I consented, and we *ent
the next day. We stayed there ten days, and on returning we
went and lived in Marylebone.;;,l stayed there five weeks, at
the end of which I had nothing to eat or drink for three
days, as he refused to give me any money. He said I must
go home, and I went, my parents having again consented to
receive me. Whilst at Gravesend, defendant said, "Now I
have settled all your law proceedings, and you and your
father's lawyer may go to the devil ; and that if his (the
solicitor's) name was Game, and he was game by nature, he
should not game him out of anything."—(Laughter.) My'
reason for not going home when I came from Gravesend WAS
not being married. I was afraid. The witness, in continu-
ation of her evidence, stated that she was in the habit of
earning] money at, her needle, and also' that she had tha
management of the younger members of the family.
Mr. Nash was about to call other witnesses, when
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF, finding no one for the de.
fendant present, thought it was unnecessaryto call any fur-
ther evidence. He then addressed the jury, and said that
everything was admitted by thedefendant except the amount
of damages. It was a very serious case, and it was Mr the
jury to say what compensation the plaintiff was entitled to
for the loss of the services of his daughter.
The jury consulted for about a minute, and returned a ITN
diet for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
.
MANSION-HOUSE.
On Monday, Elizabeth Cole, who h.-43 long, seen
known at the Justice room as a woman of most idle,
drunken, and disorderly habits, was brought before the
Lord Mayor charged with having smashed a pane of
glass. It was known that she takes a fancy to a niche
in Bridewell occasionally for h Month or two, after she
has been tumbled about thie streets in her passage from
one public-house to another; and when she was put to
the bar, the complainant stated that she dashed her hand
through the glass as if she had been accustomed to such
pastime, and when asked why she put a tradegnufri to
expense and annoyance, "Because I want to go home
to Bridewell, to be sure. If I knock at a door they
pay no attention to me, and therefore I just tap at a
window, and that brings 'em out immediately, so that if
I don't chose to walk, which I seldom do, they are
obliged to take me borne to Bridewell in a cab."
The LORD MAYOR—Wo certainly ought to have some
way of making what you consider a pleasure t punish..
went._ lam obliged to acquiesce in your desire to be
committed to Bridewell,
The defendant—That's where I want to go. I sin
tired of cutting about the streets with nothing to do.
It's all the same thing every day. lam devilish fagged
at it, I assure you.
The LORD MAYOR—You shall go to Bridewell for a
month.
The defendant—Say a little more. As much as ever
you can. Hang it, stow me up for the three months.
You can do that, 1 know.

The LORD MAYOR—I shall not gratify you.
The defendant—Then I'm blest if I don't just tap at
the window again when I come out.
The LORD MAYOR—I shall not send you for three
months, nor even for one month. I can, by shortening
the duration of your imprisonment, cause some diminu-
tion to be made in your diet. You shall go to Bride-
well for fourteen days upon short commons and hard
labour.—(Laughter.)
The defendant—There's no use in that, for I have
no great appetite.
The LORD MAYOR—We shall try it, however.
The defendant left the bar in a fury, and was com-
mitted accordingly for fourteen days.
A gentleman came to the Justice-room- to make a
complaint against a publisher of an illustrated journal in
the French language, containing woodcut representa-
tions calculated to excite ridicul against the Christian
religion. He considered it necessary, he said, to keep
the name of the publisher private, lest the offensive work
might gain a large circulation amongst those who de-
rived amusement from such exhibitions • but he did not
think himself justified, having seen it publicly exhibited
for sale, in not informing the highest authority in the
City of so serious an offence against morality, and against
the law. lie had entered the shop for the purpose of
expostulating with the publisher, who, the moment the
matter was complained of, offered one of the numbers
for sale. The woodcut to which he particularly alluded
professed to represent the Conversion of St. Paul, and
was, in an extreme degree, in his opinion, calculated to
give offence to the followers of the Christian religion.
It was suggested to the applicant by Alderman WIL-
SON, that if he intimated to the Society established for
the purpose of putting a stop to publications of such a
description that such a trade was carried on by the per-
son complained of, immediate steps would no doubt be
adopted to prevent its continuance.
John White was charged with stealing a chest of tea,
the property of Mr. Williams, of Beer-lane, Thames-
street.
It appeared that the prosecutor had sent twenty-four
chests of tea to the Custom-house (Nay, on Saturday
last, in order to their being conveyed to Holland per the
Batavier. The carter who had them in charge stopped
on his way for the space of three or four minutes at a
house in the neighbourhood of Thames-street, and upon
returning to his cart ho missed one of the chests. In
the meantime a young man named Slater, who did busi-
ness in Mr. Williams' establishment, observed a man
carrying a chest of tea, and suspecting that he had not
come honestly by it, he pursued him, and upon turning
the corner of Beer-lane he observed hint handing it to
the prisoner, whom he immediately seized and gave in
custody to a policeman. The chest of tea found upon
the prisoner was that which was stolen from Mr. Wil-
liams' cart.

The prisoner, who was stated to be an old offender,
was committed to Bridewell as a vagabond for three
months.

CLERKEN WELL.
THE LATE AI3DUCTION CASE.— William Berton .2Vewenham
was brought up on remand, charged with the abduction of
Frances Louisa Wortham, daughter of Mrs. Wortham, a
widow lady residing in Gerard-street, Coburg-road, Islington.
Mr. Southee was for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries
for the defence.
The Court was still more crowded than on any former oc-
casion. _Every part'part of it was thronged to inconvenience.
The first witness examined on this occasion was Mr. Ham-
mond, a solicitor, residing in Furnival's Inn, but his evidence
was not important. Miss Wortham was also re-examined
at some length, but nothing of material interest was elicited.
The prisoner was again remanded for further evidence of a
technical nature.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Willlain Holes, Joseph Prior, and Robert Thompson, three
athletic young loam, were charged, before Mr. Bingham, with
h3ving been concerned with several other men in assaulting
and attempting to drown four policemen of the N division, by
throwing them into a branch of the river Lea.

then commenced a simultaneous attack upon the other
officers, who were successively precipitated into the water.
They succeeded in scrambling out of the water, and on gain-
Jag the bank, rushed on their assailants, three of wham were
secured, but the rest of the gang retreated back to their boat,
and rowed away.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners at first accused the
complainants of having committed the first aggression, b pelting them with stones, but they afterwardsretracted thaty statement, and said that they were so "lushy" at the time
that they did not know what they were about.
Mr. BINGIiAm said that the case was one of far too serious
a nature to be summarily disposed of, and he should, there-
fore, submit it to the decision of a jury.
The prisoners were committed for trial.
