certain papers, -and froth the money found in your possession,
that you went to Cambridge prepared to bribe any person wim
would take a bribe at your Lands. It-has been observed by ouc
of the Learned Counsel than a person may ho induced by the
' feelings of excitement durug the ele.ion to ofFer a bribe. I
merely.. mention this, because I would not haee it for one mo-
ment supposed that the Court would eons:der such eireurn-
stances as any palliation of the uffence ; but such is not your
case: you set off from k.orwieb for the deliberate-pm-pose:of
lending your aid. in the corruption of the constituency of Cam-
bridge. Taking all the circumstances of the casie into consi-
deration, and considering the imprisonment you have already
undergone, the sentence. of the Court is that you be imprisoned
in her Majesty's gaol of Norwich for twelve calendar months,
and that in the meantime I,ou be committed to the custody of
the Marshal.—TheJefendant was then removed in custody.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.
Bo Tv- *CTRL ET.

A simple-looking young fellow, very tolerably dressed, WAS
brought up in custody of police constable A 63, chat-grit with
being found in the neighbourhood of 11 hitehall under sus,,,i,,k,us
circumstance.

The policeman briefly stated the facts to be- that the prisoner
had been seen lately for some days lurking about the premises
of Sir Robert Peel, and as he appeared to have no busluisi
there, and could give no satisfactory account of himself, witness
took him into custody.

In answer to ques-tions from Mr. Had, the prisoner stated
that he was in great destitution, and could not succeed in ob-
taining employment ; as a dernier resort, he determined on
making application to Sir Robert Peel, to see if he could pro-
vide him with a situation, and with that intent he had been
waiting about the Right Hun. Gentleman's residence.
Inspector Pearce stated that when the young man was taken
to the station-house, he appeared very reckless, and said he did
not care what he did; rather than be as he was at present he
should wish to be transported.
Mr. HALL gave the prisoner a very severe reprimand for his
foolish conduct. It was not at all likely that Sir Robert
Peel would speak to him, or provide him with a sitmtion
unless he were properly introduced to him ; and if such con-
duct as this were to be allowed, Sir Robert Peel would be con-
stantly molested by impudent persons, either fools or knaves.
For what he had done he was now liabh, to be transported, and
he could assure him that he would not find prison food or prison
discipline so agreeable as he seemed to think.
The prisoner, who appeared to have had enough of prison
discipline horn what he experienced in the cells of the Police
Court last night, expressed his contrition for his foolish conduct,
and promised, if he were discharged, now to go home to his
friends and riot offend again
On this understanding Mr. HALL consented to discharge him.

MA t.l
Mr. Henry Whiting, a respectable tradesman, was charged
with plucking off a sprig of red-coloured blossom May, as he was
proceeding along the North Walk of Kensington-gardens on Sun-
day evening. He was walking with a lady at the time, and snatched
off a very small portion of the blossom to stv.,m.t to her
admiration, upon which he was immediately pounced upon by
the constable No. 8 of the Gardens, who took him into cus-
tody, an idst a large assemblage of persons, and walked hint,
with a crowd at his heels, to the Station-house, in Vines street,
Regent-street, where he was consigned to " durance vile,"
until he could procure bail. •
The defendant said he bad not the slightest intention of doing
wrong, or of committing injury of any kind. Seeing the blos-
som of beauWul colours, he did thoughtlessly pluck off a twig
to show to the lady (his wife) he was walking with.
Mr. HAanwicx said ;f every person who visited the gardens
did the same very little of the shrubberies would be left. No
doubt it was heedlessly done, and he should therefore fine the
defendant only 75., instead of the full penalty, 40s.
The fine was immediately paid.
CLERKEN WELL.

The Rector of St. Peter's Church, Saffron-hill, attended at
the office yesterday, and stated that it was, a constant Frae•
tice with some persons residing in the neighbourhood of • the
church, to get on the tops of their houses during the hours of
divine service and commence firing blunderbusses and pistols
at pigeons; others threw stones, by which the windows had
been repeatedly hr.:ken. The noise was so great, that he could
hardly make himself intelligible to his congregation. On Sun•
day the Bishop of London had been visiting him, and his Lord-
ship felt very much annoyed by it.
Mr. GREENWOOD said he could do nothing but hold the
parties to bail. He thought it would be useless for him to
summon them, as he could hardy make out a case against
them • but; complainant had better apply to the Commissioners
of Police.
