POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO W-S TREE T.
Yesterday afternoon, when the regular business of tbt:oioe
had closed, Mr. Chas. Rom, the singer and compose of Drorfr
lane Theatre, was brought before Mr. HALLS, on a wsn'sritt
charged with an assault upon an Irishman named Tyson, who
tills the situation of porter at the stage-door of the establish-
ment mentioned.

Tyson's statement was, that cm Thursday, at the time of the
performers assembling for rehearsal, Mr. Horn came to the
stage-door, accompanied by two young gentlemen, his son and
his nephew, and they were all about to enter into the house,
but witness had received orders that none but those immediate-
ly connected with the theatre should be allowed to pass, and he
therefore put his hand before one of the young gentlernen, and
was telling him that he could not pass, when Mr. Horn gave
him " a sort of blow" on the breast, which sent him against
the wall at the other end of the lodge.
-"Mr. Horn begged, before he entered upon his defence, to ask
-tTie complainant a question or two.
Mr. HALLS said he was perfectly at liberty to put any ques-
tion he pleased, and Mr. Horn asked the complainant if Miss
Stephens's niece, Alias Johnson, Mr. Liston's family, Mr.
W others,
allack's, and were not admitted every day without
any objection being offered ?
The complainant said they certainly were.
Mr. Horn—And pray, did you not yesterday admit Mr.
'Aston's son immediately after you had stopped the two young
gentlemen who accompanied me ?
The complainant said he could not tell whether he did or not,
for the day was too dark to distinguish faces; and at all events,
if he did admit Mr. Liston's son, he had acted contrary to the
orders given to hint by the management.
Mr. Horn, in his defence, said, that it had always been the
custom for performers to take their relatives or friends to
rehearsals and when he went with his son and nephen'i °n
Thursday, the complainant very rudely stopped them, at which
he felt vexed, and .he certainly pushed the porter aside, but
it was done with.gentleness, and not violently, as had been
stated. No obstruction had ever been offered to his friends
until during the rehearsal of the hat opera, when he took
Mrs. Horn with him, and he received a hint that it was not
desirable that he should bring any person with him. Th 6
friends of the other performers were allowed free ingress to the
Theatre, as the complainant had admitted, rand having very
good reason to believe that the prohibition with respect to him
arose from private pique on the part of one individualin the
management, he certainly felt disposed to resist it.
N. HALLS said, that an assault had been sworn to,- but it
was committed under such circumstarices.that be did not think
himself warranted in holding him. Horn to bail. It seemed to
have arisen out of a disputed matter of right, and he should
therefore have the complainant to his remedy by indictment
at sessions, it' he thought tit to adopt that course. Mr. Horn win:
discharged.

HATTON-GA R.DE N.
Yesterday Mr. Henry Butterworth, the Common Council-
man of Farringdon Without, attended before the Sitting Ma-
gistrate, in order to explain his conduct, in regard to a para-
graph which had appeared a few days since in all the papers,
relating to a cushion and hassock, and a pew In St. John's
Chapel, Bedford-row. .Mr. B. stated that he only arrived in
town on Thursday afternoon, and had thought it his duty in
the first instance, before the Magistrate, to explain all that he
had done. The complaint, he observed was made by Mr. Ken-,
ton, a gentleman unknown to hint, except as being fellow&
worshippers in the saute chapel; the cushion and hassock in
question were originally purchased with other articles of pew
furniture, jointly by him (Mr. B.), Dr. Blake, and a Mr. Sa
bine ; Dr. Blake had left the chapel, as had also Air. Sa-
bine, andihe (Mr. B.) had not attended for the last two years,
in consequence of his having attmtled regularly IA St. Dun-.
stan's, and the cushion, &c. being clearly his, he, about two
months since, sent to fetch them away. During the time that
he had not attended the chapel Mr. Kenton and his tarnily.
were permitted to occupy the pew and- use the cushier"
and as there was one of another description belong-
ing to Mr. Kenton, in the chapel, he had mistaken the
one in question for his owl.. fie did not wish to accuse lUr,
Kenton of having ;mule a false charge, but tonsidered that he
certainly must labour under a mistake, as there could not be
the least doubt of the cushion, &c., being his (Mr. B.'s) Pre*
perty, and he was only anxious that, as the statement of Mr.
Kenton had gone forth to the world, it should be publicly con-
tradicted.

Mr. ROOErts, the Magistrate, fully concurred in this, but
at the same time observed, that no one who had read the report
alluded to, and knew Mr. Butterworth could entertain the molt
remote opinion unfavourable to him ; he added, that he believed
Mr. Kenton had of late suffered much distress of mind, owing
to the death of his wife, which might, to a great exteiat, account
for his extraordinary application to the Magistrates; but be
(Mr. Rogers) could run conceive that Mr. Butterworth's con-
duct stood the least in need of justiOcatiOn.--.11r..8. then left
the Office.

PURCHASING- BANR NOTES.,--As some of our
readers might perhaps be disposed to purchase,
at a discount, the notes of such banks as have
lately failed, we think it right to state, for the in-
formation of those who may not be acquainted
with the luw on the so bject,that persons who pur-
chase notes after a commission of bankruptcy has
issued against the bank by which they were
issued, catmot prove on the estate, in respect to
such notes; and even if the notes are purchased
before the bankruptcy, the purchasers can only
prove for the amount they really and bona fid"l
paid for them.—(Bath Herald.)
