CLERKENWELL.
- Mr. Storey, a solicitor, residing in Verson-street, Lloyd-
square, was charged with using language calculated to cause a
breach of the peace to Mr. Edward Laforest, a merchant living
at 26, John-street, Bedford-row.
Mr. James, the barrister, appeared for the complainant.
Mr. James st..ted, that on the 17th of June the complainant
had occasion to make a call in Wharton-street, in company
with a lady, and Wharton-street being adeclivity, Mr. Laforest
ordered the coachman to draw up the carriage in Vernon-street,
which adjoined it, and it so happened that where the vehicle
rested was in front of Mr. Storey's house.
William Harris, Mr. Laforest's coachman, was standing at
the heads of his horses when Mr. Storey thrust his head out of
the window, and exclaimed, " Draw those horses on." Wit-
ness, in the abence of his master, refused. Mr. Storey then
went for a policeman, who, on his arrival, declined to interfere.
Mr. Storey asked witness his master's name, and he would not
tell him. Mr. Laforest soon after came, and Mr. Storey asked
him his name, but he refused to give it. Mr. Storey said he
was no gentleman, and added " You have come hi-re fir no
good purpose." Mr. Laforest made no other reply thaw" Thank
y"

Cross-examined by Mr. Storey—l am Mr. Laforest's coach-
man. Ido not live in John-street. I live in Wharton-street.
Mr. Wharton—To whom does the house in Wharton-street
belong? The witness declined answering the question.
tlr. James read letters which had passed between the de-
fendant and the complainant's attorney, in which the former
sail,—" Mr. Laforest is in tke habit of vi,iting some female
near my house, whether for a legitimate purpose it is for him
to prove; my information leads me to believe the contrary."
The writer went on to say that if he were not ashamed of the
purpose for which he visited the neighbourhood be might draw
the carriage up to the house to wbieh he was going. After
much discussion,
Mr. COMM suggested that Mr. Storey should withdraw the
offensive letter, and make an apology. Mr. Laforest had a
perfect right to draw up his carriage there.
Mr. Storey at length consented to say that he sent the letter
under a misapprehension, and regretted having used the lan-
gums complained of.
The matter then dropped.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
DAMN. ROBBERY.-George Morton alias Morgan, a
young man of reseectable appearance, was charged with steal-
ing several rolls of cloth, of the value of between 201. and 30L,
from the shop of Mr. James Cooper, of No. 23, New Bond-
street, tailor.
It appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock this morn-
ing, the prisoner deliberately walked into the prosecutor's shop,
and seising hold of the cloth from off the counter was running,
as fast as he could, away with it, when he was espied by one of
the shopmen, who pursued and overtook him with the stolen
property in his possession.
Mr. Hennwics asked the prisoner if he wished to say any-
thing in his defence ?—The prisoner said he supposed it was no
use his saying anything.
Mr. HARDwIcK asked if he was known ?
Police-Sergeant West, No. 106, of the F division, said he
was a well-knoWn thief, mid had only come out of prison a
week or two ago. The last time he was convicted was at the
Central Criminal Court, for robbing a shop in the Strand • and
he was then sentenced to six months' imprisonmeot to 'hard
labour.—He WPS fully committed for trial.
1, BE7 H.
On Tuesday evening Feuilkule, who had been charged be-
fore Mr. Henry with annoying the Archbishop of Canterbury
and his domestics, at Lambeth Palace, was taken before Mr.
Duke, the surgeon of Lambeth parish, and that gentleman,
after a snort examination, and putting soma questions to the
unfortunate man, pronounced him insane. He was in conse-
quence taken into the workhouse, preparatory to his being
placed in some asylum. .
Elizabeth Pa.rstan and Ellen Jones were, charged with
begging.
Police-constable 160 L deposed, that for some time past fre-
quent complaints had been made of the conduct of a set of im-
pudent beggars who infest the neighbourhood of Vauxhall,
particularly on the nights on which the Gardens are open, and
extort eontr:butions more from fear than benevolence. Fair
the last fortnight he had observed both the prisoners in the
vicinity of, and on the bridge, and had frequently cautioned
them against begging, and told them the very first tine he
caught them et it, he should take them before a magistrate.
They carried lavender or some trifling articles with them as a
blind, and kept so close a watch upon him that it was difficult
to detect them. On the night before they had a tall man with
them. whom they were enabled to ply freely with grog, so that
he was three parts drunk. He watched them closely, and dis-
tinctly saw both beg from several persons on the bridge.
The prisoners pleaded hard to be let off, but
Mr. NORTON said he was determined to put a stop to so
serious an offence, and committed them both to prison—Jones
for one month and Paxman for three weeks.
UTH .4 WC.
Wednesday George Paulo File, nicknamed the ' Kent.
street Lawyer," seas brought before Mr. Traill, charged with
obtaining by false representations the sum of 2/. 12s. 6d. nom
Isaac Thomas Spierman under the follireing circumstances :
Mr. Roberts attended as solicitor for the prosecution.
Isaac Thomas Spi, rman stated that he was a labourer, re-
siding at Thames Ditton, and that having had a son come
muted for trial at the late Surrey assizes, he (the father)
consulted the prisoner ou the subject of his defence on
the 7th of July. The prisoner informed him that lie would
require Ws. 6d. for drawling up a petition to the judge
to enable complainant to receive lot. towards defraying the
expenses attendant upon his sou's prosecution. Subsequently
the prisoner called on complainant, and said that he had re-
tained Mr. Charnock as counsel for his son ; but that gen-
tleman informed him that three 'counsel would be employed
for the prosecution, and that it would be advisible to retain
another advocate fer the defence. The prisoner then
said that 2/. 2s. would be required far that pur-
pose, and the complainant advanced that sum. The
bill of indictment was ignored by the grand jury, and a second
counsel was •not engaged in the defence, neither had he ever
obtained any portion of the 101. which the prisoner had under-
taken to procure for him. The complainant was compelled to
dispose of his bed in order to raise the money, which was
handed over to the prisoner for the above purposes. His state-
spent was confirmed by his wife, who -was present at the inter-
view between the prisoner and her husband.
Mr. Chanson], stated, that on his arrival at Croydon assizes
he found at his lodging* a brief marked one guinea; having re-
ference to the case of the complainant's son. He had no recol-
lection of having had any communication with the prisoner on
the subject, and he never advised a second counsel to be re-
tained for the defence.

The prisoner now asserted that he had delivered no such
message, and that the two guineas advanced went for the ex-
penses attendant upon the proeeedings previously to the bill
being ignored.
The complainant said that he consulted the prisoner in the
first instance, under the supposition that he was a " regular
bred" attorney.
The prisoner, in reply, declared he never represented him-
self as an attorney, but as clerk to Mr. Hardman, the attorney,
with whom he had been for a considerable time.
Mr. Roberts said that when .the prisoner was taken into
custody that morning, on his arrival from the masquerade at
Yaushall, he declared that he had never received any money
of the complainant.
Mr. Titan& said he should give the complainant an oppor
tunity of taking the case to the sessions, and for that purpose
should adjudge the prisoner to find two sureties of 201. ea*h to
attend at the next sessions.

PERCUSSION Loci o AND TUBES APPLIED TO THE
SERVICE or FIELD Guns.—At the general muster of the
Hon. Artillery Company, which took place at their ground in
Finsbury-square, to celebrate the birth-day of his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, the double royal salute was thus fired for
the first time by the Artillery division, commanded by Captain
Iselin, when the superiority of this method, and the precision
and rapidity of the explosions, as compared with the effect of
the old port fires and tubes, were very manifect to all who wit-
nessed the service. The brass guns of the Artillery Com-
pany were cast about the year 1804, and have been recently
examined, bouched, and fitted with percussion locks at the
Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.
We are informed that no railway in the country
exhibits so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and
Birmingham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as coat-
pared with the corresponding -period of last year, are as fol-
lows : 1845. 1844.

THE MOORS.
PEitiligllßE.—The weather throughout last week was
highly favourable for the sportsman, being dry ansi cooi,
with that tendency to frost through the night 'which
makes the scent lie strong. The unusual precocity of
the young broods of grouse this season, resulting in
many cases not only in second brOOds, but in a second
generation of birds in direct descent, has led to a
greater variety upon the seine shooting ground
than was perhaps ever before experienced. A raneh less
proportion of cheepers, however, are to be met with, most
of the hill:3 being, strong upon the wing ; but in such
cases the covies appear to-be partially broken up. the
broad having got Fuaiently old to leave the parent's
care. After the tint two or three days' shooting many of
these remnants of covies had apparently recruited their
ranks with individual stragglers, for they were met in
larger numbers than at the commencement. This is parti-
cularly the case on the smaller and lower range of moors,
where ohv:re being differlit sportsmen on every other
hill, the girds finding nu rest, are driven to congregate for
solace and company. On the more extensive °into"-
