assembled to see the performances of punch, they
would often find dirt, and sometimes a dead cat, and
sometimes a stone thrown by an idle boy. That
would happen at every meeting, and were they to
have policemen brought there to give evidence of
the meeting being disorderly, because sticks and
stones were flying about ? But where was the evi-
dence of any body being hurt? There was no evidence
of any body being struck, except a policeman, who
had on an old hat, which received no injury from the
blow. In what consisted the illegality of the meeting?
Where was the proof of its disorderly conduct ?
There was none.

The RECORDER—HOW is it that we have no evi•
dente as to what the meeting was assembled for.
Mr. CHAMBERS—I have no evidence to offer on that
point.

The RECORDER—There may have been a riotous
assemblage, but all the evidence we have is, that
this man came out of a public-house, flourished his
hat, and made the short address alluded to, and was
then very properly marched off to the station-house,
to prevent his doing mischief.
Mr. CHAMBERS—I am entirely in the hands of the
Jury and the Court.

The RECORDER—There can be no doubt that a
meeting assembled for a breach of the peace is an
illegal meeting ; but we have no evidence here as to
the character of the meeting. We have only this
very ridiculous man making that very ridiculous
speech, and that made still more ridiculous by
being marched off to the station-house. lie appears
to have been as harmless a hero as can well he imagined.
The Jury then acquitted both prisoners.
Munday was then discharged, and Checketts, for
the assault of which he had been previously convicted,
was sentenced to be imprisoned one month in the
Penitentiary at Milbank.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MARLBOROUGH-STREET

Two ill-looking young men, who gave the names o
Henry Passenger and Alfred Lewis, were yesterday
placed at the bar, charged by the Rev. William Bug-
den, 5, Holland-street, Kensington, with stopping him
on the preceding night in Hyde-park, accusing him
of committing an unnatural offence, and picking his
pocket.
From the Rev. prosecutor's statement, it appeared
that on the previous night, as he was proceeding, about
half-past 9 o'clock, along the footpath between Hyde.
park corner and the bridge across the Serpentine, he
heard a whistle, and three men immediately sprang
upon him, the prisoners at the bar being two ofthe three.
One seised him by the coat, and applying a most op-
probrious name to him, accused him of an unnatural
crime, adding, " I know, and have seen all, and there
goes the soldier" (at the same time pointing to a soldier
who was walking at some distance). He then said to
witness, that he should give him in charge of the po-
lice, but immediately added, " You must give me some
money," and then, forcing his hand into witness's left
hand trousers pocket, abstracted a brown silk net
purse, containing 7s. or Bs. ; he then ran off, but at
the same moment the prisoner Lewis laid hold of him,
and repeated the charge in nearly the same words as
the other person had used. At this time some gentle-
men came up and witness told them what had hap-
pened. One of the bystanders immediately volun-
teered to fetch a policeman ; at this time, however, a
constable came up, and he gave the two prisoners into

custody.
Mr. HARDWICK—Have you any doubt that the
prisoners were two of the three persons who stopped
and robbed you ? Mr. Bugden—l solemnly swear
that I have not ; besides, they were detained until
they were given into custody.
Police-sergeant Buckerson, 4 A, stated that whilst
on duty in Hyde-park, about half-past nine o'clock
the previous evening, he received information that a
gentleman had been robbed near the stone bridge,
and directly proceeded to the spot, where he found
the prosecutor, surrounded by 10 or 12 other persons.
The prosecutor, pointing out the prisoners, gave them
into custody, as being two out of three persons who
had robbed him, and accused him of an unnatural
crime. He then took them to the station-house,
where they were searched, but nothing found upon
upon them except 21d., two keys, and a knife.
The prisoners made rambling defences, but both
agreed in stating that they had never seen each other
before, but happening, accidentally, separately to cross
the park, saw a man in a white shooting coat, holding the
prosecutor and demanding assistance to secure him,
as he had committed an unnatural crime. Passenger
said that he refused to " touch him," but Lewis ob-
served that he laid hold of the prosecutor's hand.
Mr. HARDWICK (to Lewis)—Then you admit lay-
ing hold of him ?—Lewis (very much confused at his
admission) replied, that being told by the man in the
white shootinc, jacket the crime with which he was
charged, he had prevented him from going away, while
the other went, as he supposed, in search of a police-
man. Both he and his fellow-prisoner were very much
surprised when they were given into custody.
The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate,l
and the officer was ordered to make inquiry in the
meantime respecting them and their connexions.

had erred from the representations made to him before
purchasing the articles, as represented, and not from
any intention to defraud the revenue. This, however,
was only an extenuation, and not a justification, of
the offence, as persons could not plead ignorance of
the law to justify its violation. Under all the cir-
cumstances of the case, however, and being willing
receive his Lordship's assurance that no evasion of the
law was intended, he would only fine him in the mi-
tigated penalty of 20s.
This his Lordship immediately paid, and accom-
panied by his solicitor, left the Court.
