110 W-STREET.

Yesterday two gentlemen applied to Mr. AITNSIIIILL on behalf
of Mr. Hensley the, printer, late of Bolt-court, Flect-street, the
lessee of certain land at Finchlcy, of which Mr. Henry Phillips (the
gentleman who a short time ago so frequently appeared before the
public In consequence of a domestic calamity) is a yearly tenant, to
put in operation an Act of Parliament passed in the reign of George
the Second.—The Gentlemen stated that the land in question had
not been cultivated for a long period, and in fact it had been de-
serted for above six months. Mr. Hensley could not find Mr. Phil.
lips to serve a notice upon him ; they therefore requested the Ma.
gistrate to put up a notice on the ground, in the form the Act of
Parliament pointed out, and at the end of fourteen days Mr. Hensley
could take possession of the land.
Mr. Mitten ma. asked the gentlemen what they meant by stating
that Mr. Phillips could not be found—did they mean to say he had
absconded, or what did they mean ?
The gentlemen replied that they had taken pains to find him to
serve him with the notice, and tie was not to be found.

Mr. Mt:46lmm. having referred to the Act of Parliament, ac-
ceded to the application.

Ann Thompson was charged with assaulting Richard Heavens, a
baker, on London.bridge, on Monday night, and stealing from hi.
trowsers' pocket three 10/. Bank of England notes and fourteen so-
vereigns; and John Thompson, her husband, was charged with re-
ceiving two of the notes. The prosecutor said that the female pri-
soner took the property by violence, and he tried to seize her; he
caught hold of her shawl, but it slipped off her shoulders, and she
escaped. She was afterwards stopped at a pawnbroker's shop, when
offering one of the notes in payment. The other two notes were
found on her husband, when he was taken.—They were both
remanded.
WORSHIP.STREET.

THE NEW POLICE.—On Monday a considerable portion of
Mr. BROUGHTON'S time was devoted to the examination of a cir-
cumstance that took place on last Friday night, or early ant Satur-
day morning, in the City-road, in which the pardon interested were
a Mr. Lancaster, a clerk in the city, with his Wend a Mr. Ford, a
commission-broker, on the one side, while the other consisted of a
sergeant and three rank and file of those noctural guardians yeleped
the new police. It appeared that Mr. Lancaster was a little in.
toxicated, and on his rapping at a public-house for admittance he
was prevented by the police, when a scuffle ensued, in which the
coat and waistcoat were dragged from his person, and in the pocket
of the latter there was a canvass bag containing ten sovereigns.
which, with the waistcoat, he has not since seen. Mr. Lancaster
was attended by a professional gentleman.
Mr. Ford restated his former testimony.
Sergeant Wilke, of letter N, said, that on the night mentioned he
found them rapping at the Star public house, City-road, and upon
his recommending them to go home Mr. Lancaster called them a
b— b-- police. He (witness) then took him by the arm and
walked him across the road, when Mr. Lancaster made a blow at
him, but which missed him, when he fell. He (witness) then called
letter 0 to his assistance, and in their endeavours to raise him up.
for the purpose of bringing him to the police station, the coat and
waistcoat came off him, which were given to his friend Mr. Ford.
Solicitor—ls it necessary you should drag the coat and waistcoat
off his back to enable you to bring him to the watchhouse ?
Sergeant—No ; but it was necessary we should take them off in
owlet to prevent him being strangled.
Mr. Lancaster solemnly denied having used any Improper lan-
guage to the officer, and said that he had ten sovereigns in his wain-
coat pocket, and that the policeman's statement was altogether at
invention.
Mr. Ford, with equal solemnity, denied having received the waist.
coat into his we, although he admitted that he received the coat ; in
proof of which (pointing to an officer), after they got to the police
station, he sent that pale-faced looking man to search for the waist.
coat.
Mr. BROUGHTON said, the most important part of the case was
to inquire after the waistcoat and the soverigns. If there were evi-
dence sufficient before him he would certainly feel himself bound to
commit the officers for the felony, for if Mr. Lancaster's statement
was true the conduct of the officers was of the grossest kind ; but
when he did not see the road clearly before him he would endeavour
not to injure.
A supernumerary police officer said, he was on duty in Feather.
stone-street, and hearing the noise he went to the spot, and assisted
in taking Mr. Lancaster to the watch-house. His coat, waistcoat.
and hat were given to Mr. Ford, and he saw the waistcoat arms,
Mr. Ford's arms.
Two other police officers corroborated the statement of the last
witness.
Mr. Greening, the impector, said when the parties Mille to the
watchhouse Mr. Ford had Mr. ncaster's coat, but not his a aistcost.
Mr. BROUGHTON said he would dismiss the officers from ary
blame whatever, and would therefore leave Mr. Lancaster to 1-,
remedy rgainst his friend Mr. Ford.
The names of the officers were then given to the solicitor, and the
parties left the office.

Mr. Arnold, it is said, has nearly arranged with the
shareholders connected with the late English Opera-house,
and to the mutual satisfaction of all the parties. No other
impediment. will remain to the commencement of building
a new theatre, when the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests, in conjunction with the Marquis of Exeter, the
Duke of Bedford, and other proprietors of the ground
through which it is intended to carry the new street from
Waterloo-bridge to the Great North-road, shall have
agreed upon a bargain and sale.
