on. the prisoner, even to a number of postage stamps. He
will on Monday be conveyed to Maidstone for examination
before the county magistrates.
On Thursday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, a
Scotchman named Alexander Sutherland was brought to the
Court in the charge of Inspector Partridge, A division, by
whom he had been conveyed from Queen-square Police
Court, charged with using threatening language, and
writing a threatening letter to Mr. Everett, the American
Minister, his late master. The carriage of his Excellency
drove to the door of the Court, and he alighted, accompanied
by two female servants. They were ushered into the Magis-
trate's private room up stairs, through the Magistrate's
private entrance, where the depositions were taken, the
substance of which was that the prisoner had been in the
complainant's service about twelve months as footman, and
received his discharge a month back. He afterwards ap-
plied for a character to Mr. Everett, but as that gentleman
could not add sobriety to his merits, the prisoner felt of-
fended, and repeatedly called at the mansion house, 46,
Grosvenor-place, and delivered to the domestics messages of
a threatening character for their master, in addition to which
he wrote to his Excellency, menacing him with threats and
violence.

The prisoner was unable to contradict any portion of the
evidence, and he was ordered to put in bail, himself in 1001.,
and two sureties in 50/. each, to keep the peace, and be ofgood
behaviour, for the next twelve months.

The required sureties could not be procured, and the pri-
soner was conveyed to Tothill fields Prisoa.
[Our reporter states, respecting this case, that if there be
any error in his account, it is attributable to the practice of
"private" hearings.]
MARLBOROUGH- S TREE T
John Hull, a furniture-dealer, in St. Anne's-court,
Soho, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick, by John
Wetherall, the inspector of pavements, for placing goods
for sale before his house, on the foot-pavement.
It was proved that the defendant had a number of
articles before his door exposed for sale. The answer to
this was, that the goods were placed on the railings of
the area, and, therefore, that no offence had been com-
mitted. A question was about to arise as to the ille-
gality of placing goods as described by the defendant ;
but as evidence was brought forward to show that the
goods were also placed on the pavement,
Mr. Ilsanwicx held that a breach of the law had been
committed, and, after a proper caution, inflicted the miti-
gated fine of 3s. and 2s. costs.
A similar information against Josh. Miller, of St.
Anne's-court, was heard and settled by a similar deci-
sion and fine.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Dennis Driscol, was brought up for final examination
on a chargeofcommitting a murderous assaulton his wife.
The wife exhibited much reluctance at being sworn,
saying it was more her own fault than " Denny's," and
that she would not hurt him for the wealth of the
" Inges." She was at length sworn, but made all sorts
of evasions to avoid answering those questions the re-
plies to which must affect her husband, and kept fre-
quently repeating that it was more her own fault than his.
Mr. NORTON' told her she deserved a much better
partner than the man at the bar. The offence was as
bad as any that had come before him for some time, and
it was almost a miracle he had not killed her with the
desperate blow he had inflicted with the poker while she
was in bed. It would, however, be useless to send him
for trial after the reluctance exhibited to give evidence
against him by his wife ; but yet he should not escape
the utmost punishment that the law allowed him, Mr.
Norton, to inflict.

The prisoner was then convicted in the penalty of SZ,
or in default of payment to two months' imprisonment
in the House of Correction.—The prisoner, not being
able to pay the penalty, was locked up.
