BOW.STREET.

Yesterday William Case, landlord of the White
Lion public-house, Wych-street, appeared to answer
to an information for having, on Sunday, ;he Ist of
November inst., permitted persons of notoriously
bad character to assemble in his house during the
hours of divine service, contrary to the statute.
The information was preferred by direction of the
Police Commissioners.

Henry Robert Jervis, a police serjeant, on Sun-
day last, at a quarter past 12 o'clock, while divine
service was performing in the parish church of St.
Clement Danes, n•as turning the corner of New-
castle-street, for the purpose of relieving his men,
when he met a man half tipsy, with his mouth bleed-
ing, who complained that he had been knocked down
at the house of the defendant. Witness immedi-
ately accompanied him to the White Lion, the door
of which was closed. Witness demanded admis-
sion, and the door was partly opened by the defend-
arit's wife, who held it in her hand until some per-
sons in the tap-room were enabled to escape to the
rear of the premises. She then opened the door,
saying, " You are welcome to come in, there is
nobody in the house." Witness upon entering saw
several pots and pints on the tables in the tap-room,
and, proceeding backwards and looking through the
window of a shed or outhouse, he saw about a dozen
persons concealed there, some of them sitting down
smoking their pipes. The serjeant added, that the
Police Commissioners had given orders to clear the
streets of drunken and disorderly characters who
should be found there during the performance of
divine service on the sabbath. It was clear that
those orders could not be executed if public-houses
were kept open on Sunday mornings, and characters
of every description supplied with drink.
Two of the patrol constables, Ivho had accompa-
nied the serjeant to the White Lion on the occasion
in question, corroborated the statement which their
officer had made.
The landlord, in his defence, declared that there
was no company in his house after a quarter before
eleven o'clock, when he caused his tap-room to be

cleared.
The defendant tray then sentenced to, pay 40s.
fine, and costs.

Susannah Budd, the woman who was charged
upon► suspicion of having been accessory to the death
of a man whose name was unknown, and who ex-
pired in the shop of Mr. Burrows, the surgeon, of
High Holborn, on Saturday evening last, was
brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, who inquired if a Co-
roner's Jury had sat upon the body of the deceased.
Dodd, the gaoler, stated that, by direction of Mr.
HALLS, he conveyed the prisoner to the King's
Head, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, where an inquest
had sat on the body of the deceased in the course
of the morning. The name of the deceased was
William Young. He had been a snuff-manufac-
turer, and was in the act of carrying a table upon
his head.when he fell down, and having been re-
moved to the shop of)lr. Burrows, expired almost
instantly.

Sir R. BIRNIE asked if any evidence had been
adduced before the Coroner tending to prove-that
the deceased had died of poison ?—Dodd replied in
the negative. The deceased was supposed to have
died from the distension of the vessels of the brain
and heart. The verdict was, that " the deceased
died by the visitation of God." No blame was at-
tributed to the prisoner.
Sir R. BIRNIE—In that case she is discharged.
