LAW AND POLICE.

The Wills Forgery case closed at the Old Bailey, by the
conviction of all the parties implicated. Barber appeared to
be confident of an acquittal.
Mr.-Crook and Mr. Moses Nathan, two gentlemen who are

in the habit of attending the purlieus of the;Stock Exchange,
were charged at the Guildhall with disorderly behaviour in
the space between Capel-court and the Bank. There had
been a quarrel between them, arising out of some transaction
in Spanish Funds, and the interference of the bystanders was
required to prevent them coming to blows. Mr. Alderman
Johnston exacted from each gentleman a promise that there
should be no further breach of the peace, and dismissed them,
recommending an arbitration of the dispute.
John Ireland Blackburn, Esq., M.P. for Warriugton,
waited upon the Magistrate at Queen-square to intercede in
behalf of Mary Laing, who was held to bail on Tuesday for
creating a disturbance at that gentleman's house. She had
formerly lived in the establishment as housemaid, and had
been charged about a month ago with annoying a lady
xelated to Mr. Blackburn, when she was ordered to enter into
her own recognisances. This, however, did not havethe
effect of keeping her quiet, and on the occasion of her visit to
Mr. Blackburn's it was found necessary to call in the police
to secure her. The woman was sent for from Tothill-fields
Bridewell, and on making a promise not to repeat her con-
duct, was discharged.
Thomas Jones, alias Bradshaw, was finally examined at
Lambeth-street on a charge of embezzling 245., the property
of Mr. John Barrett, his master, and committed for trial.
Ellen• Kelly, a young woman in the, service of Mrs. Wilson.
of Camberwell, recently deceased, was charged at Union

linen, and other property, belonging to her late mistress. She
was remanded.
Thomas Robson Bone, the master of the ship Robert Watt,
appeared before Mr. Ballantine at the Thames Police-office,
to answer a claim for double pilotage, preferred by Mr. James
Paton. The amount sued was for -15/. 14s. 6d. Mr. Paton,
in his capacity of pilot, had boarded the vessel while getting
under weigh, and offered his services, which were refused, and
the amount was therefore sued for under the Pilotage Act.
The magistrate enforced the penalty.
