NEW COURT.

Up to the hour of going to press the business of this
Court had not commenced, owing to the grand jury
sending in no bills of indictment.

710W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A foreigner, whose name was not ascertained in con-
sequence of his pertinaciously refusing to understand the
questions which were put to him, and who had the ap-
pearance of a servant of the higher class, was charged
before Mr. Hall with obtaining money under false pre-
tences from several hotel-keepers.
George Hill, hotel-keeper at Spring-gardens, stated
that, on Saturday afternoon, between three and four
o'clock, the prisoner went to his (witness's) house to take
lodgings, as he said, for a foreign gentleman, his master,
whom, he said, he was about to bring to that hotel in a
cab. Having taken the rooms, he asked witness if he
would lend him half-a-crown, for the purpose of paying
the fare of the cab, as his master had no English coin.
Witness gave him the money, but having some
suspicions of bis character, he desired the waiter to
success. But one of the hotel-keepers,
watch him. The waiter followed him to several other
hotels, where, it appears, he made similar applications
wtoith
suspected he intended to apply, having
been warned in time by the waiter who was watching the
whom the siatm we a s
prisoner, gave him in charge.
Several cases of a similar nature were gone into ; but
Mr. Hall, considering the evidence too scanty for con-
viction, cautioned and discharged the prisoner, and the
prosecutors left the Court with manifest discontent.

in question she employed the prisoner to go with her to
carry a basket of clothes to St. Martin's-lane. The pri-
soner walked exceedingly fat, and Mrs. Lowe desired
him to go slo,.ver ; but when opposite the Marsh-gate he
contrived to give witness the slip, there being a great
crowd, and she never saw the prisoner or the clothes
again.
James Brooks, an active constable of the L division,
apprehended the prisoner in Chelsea workhouse.
Mrs. Lowe said she was very poor, and had to support
her aged mother. She bad been compelled to make good
the loss.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery.
The prisoner was then remanded, to give the constable
time to find where the clothes had been pledged.

with the following savage conduct:—
On the previous night he was creating a disturbance
in bpencer-street, Clerkenwell. Police-constable 29 G
repeatedly directed him to go away. The prisoner com-
menced an indiscriminate attack on several persons who
were quietly standing by—two he struck on the face,
and seizing the finger of a third in his mouth, crushed
it between his teeth. The officer then took him into cus-
tody. 153 G swore he was knocked down twelve times
by the prisoner ; 170 G that he was knocked down
three times.

The prisoner was sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment
