BOW-STREET.

John Stokes, a traveller was brought up before Mr.
Hall, charged with assaulting Thomas Buckeridge,
whereby his life has been placed in danger.
Mr. Robinson appeared for the defendant.
The prosecutor did not appear. A surgeon's certifi-
cate was put in which stated that the young man was
suffering from a concussion of the brain, and that he was
quite unable to leave his bed,
• Mr. Wm. Pearce, jeweller, of Durham-street, Strand,
stated that on Saturday evening about nine o'clock
he was in the parlour of the Salisbury Arms.
He heard a scuffle outside the house ; he WCllt,
out, and there saw the prisoner seize a young
man by the collar of his coat. He dragged him a short
distance, and lifted him and then threw him on the
ground. It was a tremendous fall. The young man fell
with his head on a step, and the prisoner fell upon him.
The young man was taken up insensible.
Mr. HALL said this was a case which, of course, must
be investigated ; and, as the young man could not ap-
pear, he would remand the prisoner for a week, but he
would take bail for . his appearance, himself in 401., and
two sureties of 201. each.—The bail was procured.

MARLBORO UGH-STILE ET.
Louisa Storey, Maria Williams, and Mary Barrel',
well-dressed, good-looking young women, were charged
with robbing Mr. Robert Frost, of 49, Gloucester-street,
Queen-square, of from 255. to 30s. in silver. The prose-
cutor was returning home from Putney, last night, when
on passing along Piccadilly the prisoners stopped and
pressed against him, and he immediately discovered that
he had been robbed, and gave the prisoners into cos-
tody. Money to the amount was not found on them.
Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said that the pro-
secutor was so stupidly drunk he did not know what he
was about.

Mr. MALTBY asked what the prisoners were ?
A constable said they were " gay women."
The prisoners did not delay the impeachment.
Mr. MALTBY said that, under all the circumstances,
he should discharge them, but he hoped it would be a
caution to them.

The complainant, in his cross-examination by Mr. Wilkins,
admitted that the accused had brought an action against him,
for the recovery of 1,100!., which action was now pending.
lie (complainant), however, declared that he was not indebted
to him in any amount.
Hoary Pain being sworn, stated that he was acquainted
with the prisoner. 'I he bill in question was here shown to
witness, and on examinlng it he said the acceptance was not in
his handvvrithig, and he never authorised the prisoner to sign
or accept any bill for him.
Mr. Wilkins here called forward a witness named Simpson,
a builder, who, in reply to the Learned Counsel's questions,
said that some time since he had an interview with Mr. Pain,
and then asked him whether he accepted the 201. bill in the
hands of Mr. Markwick, or whether he had given the pri-
soner any authority to do so ? The amwer Mr. Pairs gave was,
that it was not his signature, but that he authorised the accused
to accept the bill, and he added that he was not at home when
it was presented for payment.
Thomas Edwards stated that he was present during a con-
versation between the prisoner and Pain, on tire subject of the
bill in question, and heard the latter say that in the event of
Mr. Markwick giving the prisoner into custody, to send for
him, and that he would exonerate him from all blame in the
transaction, for that he (Pain) had given him authority to put
his acceptance to the bill in question.
The MAGISTRATE then called forward Mr. Pain, and ad-
dressing him said—l now ask you whether you mentioned in
the presence of the last witness that you had given the pri-
soner authority to put your signature to the bill? Mr. Pain—
It is not true.

The MAGISTRATE said, that as Mr. Pain had positively
sworn that he had not given the prisoner the authority as-
serted, he shou!d send the case before a jury, but under all
the circumstances would accept bail for the prisoner's ap-
pearance.

Michel Palraszoushi, a tall military-looking man, was
charged with stealing two prayer-books from the Catholic Cha-
pel in Bermondsey-sireet.
The prisoner had ken observed in the Chapel on two or
three oee Isions of late, and some books having been missed
from near the spot where he sat, he was watched and followed
when the service concluded. When stopped and searched two
prayer-books were found in his possession, and he was given
into custody.
Amongst the documents found in the prisoner's possession
were a passport and also a petition, from which it appeared that
the writer was a Pole, and had escaped from Siberia. where he
was banished for the part he took against the Russians.
When questioned as to the cause of his coming to this
country, his reply was that he had been wandering over the
Continent, and that he came to London thinking he would be
safer than remaining in Hamburgh. He added that he was in
distress, and knew not where to get food.
He was asked whether he had applied to the Polish Com-
mittee ' • but he replied in the negative.
The Magistrate said that instead of committing the unfor-
tunate man fir trial he should commit him for 14 days for un-
lawful possession, and recommended him to apply to the Com-
mittee when he came out.
THAMES POLICE.

A very simple-looking man came before Mr. Broclerip
on Tuesday, and said he wanted to ask the Magistrate's
advice on a case of the very greatest importance.
Mr. BRODERIP—I do not sit here to give advice. I
never give advice to any one. Tell me your case, and I
will tell you whether I can apply the law or not.
The applicant proceeded to state that he resided at
Old Ford, near Bow, and on Monday, while engaged in
his own workshop, he saw a lady's reticule lying in the
middle of the road, and lost no time in securing it and
placing it in a hat, which he deposited in his own house.
Before he had an opportunity of examining the contents
of the reticule a lady waited upon him, and asked if he
had found one ? He replied in the affirmative, and im-
mediately produced the reticule with its contents un-
touched. The lady recognised it as her own, and pro-
ceeded to overhaul it in his presence, and exhibited great
satisfaction that the contents of the reticule, consisting
of ten 51. Bank of England notes and some silver, were
undisturbed. She politely thanked him for his honesty and
the alacrity with which he had produced the reticule, and
" most liberally" presented him with 2s. for his trouble.
He accepted of the money, but having mentioned the
circumstance to a friend, he was advised to demand
" savage money "—(A laugh)—of Is. in the pound.
Mr. BRODERIP supposed the applicant meant salvage
money, and he could assure him he was not entitled by
law to make any demand.
The applicant—Don't your worship think that 2s. is
very little for 501 ?
Mr. BRODERIP said it was certainly a very small re-
ward, but the law did not allow him to snake any demand.
The applicant seemed very much to doubt the accuracy
of the worthy Magistrate's opinion, and left the Court,
apparently much dissatisfied.

A labourer, who gave the name of Benjamin Milne, was
brought before Messrs. King and Roots, the presiding Magi'.
trates, at the Town-hall, to answer a charge of committing a
daring robbery upon a young lady named Julia M'Lean.
Miss M'Lean deposed, that on Sunday evening she was re-
tensing home from church along the Ham-road, when she ob-
served a person, who resembled the prisoner, walk past her,
and, when he had got a short distance, he stopped short until
she got up to him, when he snatched at her reticule, and tore it
violently from her arm, and ran off with it. She gave an
alarm immediately, and several persons went off in the direc-
tion the man had taken who robbed her. The prisoner was
soon afterwards brought to her, but although he very much re-
sembled the robber in size and general appearance, she could
not speak positively to his identity.
Sergeant Martin, of the V division, deposed, that, upon
hearing of the robbery, he went to a lodging-house in Kings-
ton, known by the name of the Quart Pot, and he there appre-
hended the prisoner from the description Miss M'Lean had
given of the man who robbed her. She could not, however,
identify him. Witness afterwards made a search in the direc-
tion in which the man ran away, and he picked up the reticule,
which was wrapped up in a handkerchief, and lying under the
doorway of an old house. The constable added that he could
not trace the property in any way to the possession of the
prisoner.
