UNION-HALL

John B ;lamll and William Petty were re-examined,
charged with burglary.
It appeared that, on Friday night last, the premises of Mr.
Searle' the boat-builder, at Lambeth, were broken into and
robbed of a quantity of lothes belonging to the members of the
Oxford V. herry Club. On the following morning the prisoners
were taken into custody at a brothel, leading out of the Water-
loo-road, into which they were observed to go at an early hour.
A great portion of the property was found in the house, and
also a large silver medal that had been stolen from the Red
Lion public-house at Lambeth, which had also been broken into
and robbed a few eights previously. As the prisoners are
suspected of having committed other burglaries in the district
they were again remanded.
Two fashionably dressed gentleman, named William An-
drews and Timothy Jones, were placed at the bar, before Mr.
Cottingham, charged with being drunk, and incapable of tak-
ing care of themselves.
Police constable 159 M, stated that he met the gentleman
in Wellington-street, about ten, on Friday night ; they were
both so intoxicated, that they could hardly walk. He went up
to them, and asked them where they resided, but they were
incapable of answering him ; he, therefore, took them to the
station-house.
One of them said he had been tasting wine in the London
Docks, and the other said he had been helping his friend ; but,
after leaving the Docks, time to them was a complete blank,
till they awoke in the station-house.
The policeman stated that Mr. Andrews had 2501. in bank-
note, in his pocket.
Mr. CoTTINGHAM told them that they ought to be ashamed
of their conduct. He considered that they had had sufficient
punishment. by being locked up all night in the station-house.
He hoped this would be a warning to wine• merchants, not to
give orders for to ting their wine to parties who did not know
how to conduct themselves--They were then discharged.
THAMES-POLICE.

William Brownrigg, the master of the barque Premier,
from Calcutta, now lying in the St. Katherine Docks, ap-
peared before Mr. Ballantyne, to answer a claim for wages,
made by Banduin Zule, a French seaman, for his services on
the homeward voyage.
Mr. Price. a solicitor, stated the seaman's case. The com-
plainant signed articles at Calcutta, as able seaman. at 21.
per month, and there was a balance of 111. is. dto to him.
During the voyage, the seaman was at the % keel in very rough
weather, and was struck by the tiller on the .noulder and
knucked down. The blow was a very severe one. The man
was completely disabled, and was obliged to lay up for three
days. He afterwards did as much duty as he was able, but
continued in much pain until he reached the Downs,
when he was called aft by the Captain and asked if he
could do his duty. The Frenchman replied that he was
afraid he could not, on account of the serious injury
he received at the wheel, and, at the same time, said
he had no objection to pay for a substitute to assist in taking
the ship up to London. The Premier arrived here on the
27th of March, and upon the lollewing day he went on board
the Dreadnought hospital-ship, from which place lie was dis-
charged convalescent five days afterwards. The wages in dis-
pute had been deducted for the loss of time and the hire of a
substitute after the complainant had met with the injury. Mr.
Price contended that the accident having occurred in the ser-
vice of the ship, and while the man was properly attending to
his duty, he was not bound to pay for any loss of time or the
hire of a substitute, and cited many authorities to that effect.
Captain Brownrigg said, all he had sought to deduct was 41.,
which the Frenchman had agreed to pay, or he should not have
stepped any portion of his wages.
Mr. 13a t.r.a NTIN e—l cannot stop this man's wages for an acci
dent that occurred in the service of the ship at sea. He is
entitled to his full wages, according to the agreement before me.
The ela,rn was ordered to be paid, with costs, which the
Captain immediately complied with.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucesttr, April 5.
HERON V. FRETWELL.
This case was a very singular one. Mr. Samuel Heron, the
plaintiff, is a most respectable silk-throwster, at Chipping
Campden, and Mr. Thomas Bulkeley Fretwell, the def ndant,
resides at Cheltenham. Fretwell had fallen latterly into in-
digent circumstances, and had been in the practice of receiving
pecuniary support from Mrs. Barrel:ay, an aged lady of large
property, residing at Blockley, and a relation of the plaintiff,
Mr. Heron. In September, 1828, the premises of a Mr.
Franklin, since deceased, had bet n broken into, and consider-
able property carried away. This Air. was the bro-
ther of Mrs. Bowhay. A reward of Br/. was offered for the
di;covery of the depredator, but without success. It was ge-
nerally supposed. that a person of the name of Smith, who soon
after the robbery went to America, was the offender ; but the
transarlion after a time fell into oblivion. Mrs. Bosshay
having, for some reason or ceher, with& awn her cantri;mtions
from Mr. Fretweli, that person became res,iite, and resorted
to means calculated, as he thought, to bring her into a re-
newal of her acts of generosity. He threatened to inform
against a person in whom this lady was supposed to take an
interest, and, finding the attempt to obtain money fruitless, on
the 28th of December last he swore an information of burglary
against Mr. Heron, before Mr. Thomas Beale Cooper, one of
the Justices of the Peace for Worcester. On the following
day Mr. Heron was apprehended, and only released on finding
sureties. After undergoing two examinations he was discharged.
Mr. GREAYES said, the jury were now called upon under
the writ of inquiry, to assess the damages due to the plaintiff
for the grievous injury he had sustained.
Sergeant Lunt.° w followed, slid the witnesses were about to
be cal ed, when Mr. Godson rose. _

Mr. donsos said—Whin is certainly a melancholy case. I
