that some Act of Parliament should be passed, giving power
to carry the Act out. All I contend for here is, that she
was legally taken—that all the circumstances and requisites
of the treaty were performed. What should be done with
them ? There is no doubt of that at all. But it is not for those
taken to say, while in custody, the place of custody does
not belong to the person taking into custody, and,
under that, make violent efforts to escape. As to
the instructions, they certainly accord with the
treaty, and with the Act of Parliament after 1880. Let
us look at it as a case of piracy independently. Here an
officer of her Majesty is in possession of a ship by her
master's submission. The men on board conspire to com-
mit piracy, and in committing that act kill an English-
man. It is laid down by Lord Coke that piracy against
England, or an English vessel, or that of an alien, is punish-
able. The case may go further. Piracy is a crime with all
nations now on the waves over which the jurisdiction
of the Admiralty Court extends. This vessel and the
jolly-boat were floating, and on board of that vessel the
crew conspire to commit piracy, to which Surkera objects,
and commits murder—are they to be justified ? The counsel
quoted the case of the King v. Sawyer, to show that stopping
short of land on the high seas on board of a vessel in posses-
sion of one of her Majesty's officers, parties are answerable
for their crimes. To take up the narrowest point, it is con-
tended that being in custody in an illegal place, then that
in cool blood murder may be concocted and perpetrated
against the customers. It is but necessary to state the
objection to see the monstrosity of it; and no authorities had
been quoted in support of it. Take the case any way we may,
I think I have made out that murder has been committed.

the Addiscombe delivery, the defendant was sent for imme-
diately, and in the middle of his bundle of letters
there appeared the letter referred to, which he had
no business to have, as Addiscombe was not within
his delivery, and he accounted for the possession of
the letter by stating that it must have got among his
bundle of letters by mistake while the letters were being
sorted. Upon this he was taken into custody and under-
went an examination before Mr. Sutherland, who admitted
him to bail until this day. The letter, it appeared, had not
been opened, nor its contents in any way disturbed.
Mr. Ramsey, one of the superintendent of letter carriers
at the General Post-office, now attended, and stated that the
Post-office authorities had looked over the depositions, and
they were of opinion that it was not advisable to proceed
with the prosecution, as they did not think it likely that a
conviction would take place under the circumstances.
The defendant was consequently discharged.

GUILDHALL.
On Saturday a fashionably-attired, though singular-look-
ing female, apparently about 25 years of age, named Frances
Paine, who some years since figured rather conspicuously at
this court in connexion with some exchange bills' was brought
up in custody of an officer from the Greenwich Police-court,
charged with having swindled Messrs. Harmer and Pearson,
the distillers, in the following tory impudent style 064.
The prisoner had been examined at Greenwich on tWo
charges of felony, upon which she stood committed, but the
magistrate sent her to this court, so as to allow the case of
swindling on Messrs. Harmer and Pearson to be proceeded

with against the prisoner.
Mr. F. Adams, the managing clerk in the service of the
firm, stated that on the 10th day of September the prisoner
came into tho warehouse of the distillery, and giving the name
of 11liss Ann Frances Finey, said she was about to open the
Half Moon Inn, at Northfleet, on an " improved plan," and
wished to give an order for some spirits. She directed 29
gallons of gin, and several cordials, to the amount of 351. Bs.,
to be forwarded to the inn, but said she must have two
gallons of gin to take down with her to go on with. She
produced an invoice of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co.,
the brewers, of whom she had ordered beer and ale; and
added, Mr._ Kineaid, the principal collector of the firm, had

(From the Bi ighion Herald.)
Before Major Ax EN, Sir G. WESTPHAL, J. BORRER,

and T. I. BELLAMY, ESq.]
THE ITALIAN AND HIS TORTOISE.-011 Thursday an
Ltalian boy, whose soft delicate features formed a strong
contrast with the hardy and dogged expression of the
English vagrant, was placed at the bar. In answer to
the demand for his name, he replied by a very arch
smile, and Mr. Chase said he did not speak English, but
that Lorenzo Loriena, an Italian lodging-house keeper,
was in attendance, who would act as interpreter.
Loriena accordingly addressed him in Italiar, but the
boy merely smiled in reply, and looked down at some-
thing in his breast.
" What has he got there?" asked one of the Magis-
trates.
"It's a tortoise," replied an officer, and, going up to
the boy, he took the poor animal away from hula and
placed it upon the table. The people laughed as the
tortoise put out its queer-looking head and dragged
itself slowly and awkwardly along the table, and the
boy looked at them and smiled too, and then again
looked at his tortoise.
A policeman deposed to seeing the boy down two
areas on the King's-road.
" Did you hear what be said?" inquired Major
ALLEN.
Policeman—l didn't understand what ho said, but he
had a tortoise, and he went down the areas.
Major ALLEN (to Loriena)—Does lie lodge pith you.
—Si, si.
And who pays for him?—himself. The boy is by
himself. He came in last week.
Major ALLEN—You don't know- who brought him
into this country?—The man is in London. He's his
uncle, and he was to have come down yesterday with a
piano for the boy.
Major ALLEN—Does the tortoise belong to you?—
No, no, it's his tortoise.
Does he deny having been down the areas?
The man spoke in Italian to the boy, who smiled
nodded his ht ad, and looked at his tortoise.
The magistrates consulted together. " Can you take
care of the tortoise?" asked Major ALLEN of Lonena.
" Yes, I can take care of it."
" Because we can't commit that—they won't take that
in at Lewes. Tell the boy he is committed for three
weeks to hard labour.
The punishment—(was it not unnecessarily severe?)
—was communicated to the poor boy. He only smiled
again, and looked at his tortoise, which was crawling
about the table.
A policeman now took the animal and handed it over
to Loriena; and the boy was motioned to below. , His
eyes followed his tortoise, but the smile still lingered ou
his soft features, as, with his head towards the tortoise,
he stepped down the steps and-was lost to sight.

recommended her to Messrs. Harmer and Pearson for spirits.

.....
Thinking her statement was perfectly correct, and from the
production of the invoice, they were induced to supply her
with the two gallons of gin, and on the next morning they
sent the remainder of the spirits and cordials by barges to
Northfleet. In the course of that morning the prisoner visited
the warehouse, and stated that she had been robbed of all
her money and papers in an omnibus, and knew not how she
could get home. Mr. Harmer then asked her if she wanted
a few shillings, and replying in the affirmative, he advanced
her two sovereigns. Suspicion, however, being entertained
of the truth of her representation, he was induced to go down
to Northfleet, when he found thatthe whole of her story was
trumped up. She had not the least interest in the Half-Moon,
and was not even known to the occupier. Quantities of ale,
beer, wine, spirits, &c., bad been forwarded at her direction,
and which, when he arrived, were about being removed back
to the metropolis. In fact, she had played a complete hoax
upon every person she had had dealings with in the trade,
even to ordering Mr. Deacon, the pewterer, to go down to
Northfleet to make some alterations in the bar. This party
did so, but upon making inquiries at the inn about the re-
quired work, found the imposition that had been practised
upon him.
Mr. Alderman WILSON inquired if there were any other
cases to be brought against her ?—Mr. Adam replied that
there were.
Mr. Alderman \\Timm asked her if she had any defence to
make to the charge.—She answered, in a simpering tone, that
she did not order the goods on her own account, and Mr.
Harmer knew such to be the fact. _ _ _ _

Mr. Sergeant MANNING rose to reply. He was amazed
that his Learned Friend should contend that the Queen can
legally come into possession by a wrongful act. It is said
the Sovereign can do no wrong, but these acts,
though done by officers in her Majesty's service,
being their acts, and not the acts of the Crown,
and being wrong, can vest nothing in the Crown
whatever. The Echo was not taken by a British vessel, for
by treaty the Felicidade was not the property of England
and Brazil till sold, when she might be purchased by either.
The Echo was, in fact, taken by the Felicidade, notwithstanding
that the captors left by the English jolly-boat to go on board.
The lieutenant left the Felicidade to go on board the Echo,
but she in being hailed, sheered off, and was not taken
till the following night. She was not taken
by Lieutenant Stupart, but by another person sent by him,
whereas the treaty compels the taking by a lieutenant in
uniform. The Learned Sergeant held there were no instruc-
tions on board the Wasp, and if there had been, they would
not have availed. There were no instructions if

those on board were bad. Now the treaty requires
that instructions be put on board inhibiting the
detention of Brazilian vessels by British officers, unlegs
with slaves on board. But instructions were put on board
to the effect that they should detain on suspicion of being
concerned in the slave trade.

The Learned CHIEF BARON—The objection taken was that
there were no instructions on board of the Felicidade. The
Learned Chief Baron understood from Mr. Godson that these
Portuguese treaties of 1826 ended in 1830. By the treaty
with Portugal the slave-trade was only partially put an end
to. By the treaty with Brazil it was declared piracy.
The Learned SERGEANT here read from Bth and 9th Victoria
to show that the mixed Commissions at Rio Janeiro, and Sierra
Leone, ending on the 12th March, 1845, were extended by
mutual agreement of both Governments for six months
longer. As to the Felicidade, there is no pretext for confound-
ing the provisions of the sth Geo. IV. with those of
the treaty . of 1836. The words of the treaty are
—the carrying on of the slave trade, under which terms he
submitted the present offence could not be brought. He had
no intention to differ from the dicta quoted on Homicide.
One of their Lordships remarked that was nothing as to

until Monday, so as to afford time to collect the necessary
evidence to complete the other charges against her.
She was accordingly removed to Giltspur-street Compter.
MARYLEBONE. a.

William King, cab driver, badge No. 4,739, was brought up
in the custody of Sergeant Shaw, an active officer of the
detective police, and placed at the bar before the sitting ma-
gistrate, Mr. Long, charged with having stolen 3001. worth of
property belonging to Mr. Thomas Jordan, a stock and share-
broker, residing in Oriental-buildings, Castle-street, Liver-

pool.
The prosecutor deposed that he had recently been staying
at the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, and on Thursday
evening last he gave orders for a cab to be sent
for to carry him and his luggage to the Euston-square
terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, as he
intended to leave town by the half-past eight o'clock train.
At ten minutes before eight he was Informed by the porter
that the cab with the luggage in it was waiting for him at
the door. He then entered the vehicle, being at the time
perfectly collected, and desired the driver, who he had no
doubt was the prisoner, to go by way of Portman-square, as
he wished to call upon Mr. Reeves, jeweller, No. 75, George-
street. On arriving at the corner of that street, he called to
the prisoner to stop, which he did, and he (prosecutor) then
alighted and went to Mr. Reeves's house. He remained there
about a quarter of an hour, and on coming out, found, to his
great surprise, that the cab and prisoner had disappeared.
Without loss of time he communicated the particulars at the
station-house of the 0 division of police, situated in Mary-
lebone-lane, the result of which was the apprehension of the
prisoner.
Mr. LONG—State as nearly as you can recollect, Sir, of
what the property lost, and placed in the cab, consisted.
Prosecutor—There was a drab cloth travelling cloak with
plaid lining, and a short monkey jacket ; also a carpet bag,
containing, in addition to linen, a morocco leather-case with a
steel lock, and in that case was a pocket-book, which had a
quantity of railway scrip, together with bankers' receipts for
deposits. I consider my loss to be about 3001, none of
which has yet been recovered.
Mr. LoNG—Did you notice the number of the cab when
you got into it ? Prosecutor—l did not.
Mr. LONG—Are you certain that the prisoner is the man
who drove you ? Prosecutor—l am, Sir.
Mr. LONG (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to put any ques-
tions to this gentleman ? Prisoner—l am innocent, and,
therefore, have no questions to ask.
John Brown, the porter at the Golden Cross, said that when
he put the luggage in the cab he was in a hurry, and, being
rather foggy at the time, he would not swear positively that
the prisoner was the driver, although, to the best of his belief,
he was.
George Johnson, a cabman, stated that he saw the luggage
placed in the vehicle by the last witness, and could swear that
the prisoner was the driver.
Catherine Marsh, servant to Mr. Reeves, deposed that while
the prosecutor was in her master's house the prisoner came to
the door, and asked if the gentleman (prosecutor) was almost
ready, at the same time saying, " I wish he would be quick,
but if he is going to keep me much longer, I hope hen send
something down for me." Witness added, that she saw no
more of the prisoner afterwards.
Shaw, the constable, said that as he only took the pri-
soner that morning, he had not as yet had tune to bring for-
ward more evidence.
The prisoner," who again asserted his innocence of the
charge alleged against him, was remanded for further ex-
amination on Friday next; and on the arrival of the prison
van he was conveyed to Tothill-field's prison.
At about three o'clock Mr. Thomas, of Hatchett's Hotel,
Piccadilly, came to the court, accompanied by other persons
connected with his establishment, and had an interview with
the magistrate, to whom he stated he had frequently em-
ployed the prisoner, of whom he had a very good opinion.
On the evening of Thursday last the prisoner was at his
(Mr. Thomas's) door, at a quarter to eight o'clock, and after
waiting a short time drove him (witness) and two of his
daughters to Barnes.
This statement being corroborated, Mr. Long, under all
the circumstances of the case, consented to allow the prix
Boner's liberation on bail—himself in 2001., and two sureties
in the same amount each, making in the whole 6001.
CLERKEN WELL.
On Saturday John Houghton, the driver of a cabriolet,
No. 408, was charged with very outrageous conduct to Mr.
Crossthwaite, a gentleman residing at No. 9, Ladbrooke-ter-
race, Notting-hill, and to Mr. Hasluck, of Hatton-garden.
The complainants severally stated that, on Friday night,
at the hour of eleven, they engaged the defendant at
Covent-garden Theatre, to convey them to the resi-
dence of the last-mentioned gentleman's father, in Hat-
ton-garden, where, on alighting, the prisoner, who had an-
other cabman on the box with him, demanded 2s. 6d. as
his fare. Knowing the fare to be no more than one shilling,
he gave him double that amount ; but, instead of being satis-
fied, he seized Mr. Crossthwaite in the most ruffianly manner,
and endeavoured to throw him. They struggled together
for some time, and the accused was eventually overpowered,
and brought to the ground. The witness called a police-con-
stable, 240 G, who was on the opposite side of the street, and
who saw all that occurred, to protect them ; but, strange to
say, he sided with the defendant, or, from fear, did not for a
long time, after seeing the complainent spit upon him more
than ten times, take him in charge at their suit and supplica-
tion. In the confusion occasioned by the outrage, which at-
tracted to the spot upwards of 100 persons, the defendant's
companion made his escape, after having deposited his coat
and badge with the accused.
Two gentlemen corroborated the evidence. They described
the conduct of the constable as most unaccountable. After
the complainants had repeatedly asked him if they were to
put up with such conduct as an extortion, and being spat on,
the defendant became more offensive in language and in con-
duct generally, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he
could be prevailed on to remove the prisoner.
Inspector Penny, G, said that the defendant was very drunk
and abusive when brought to the station. His language was
most beastly.
Mr. GREENWOOD desired Mr. Penny to make a representa-
tion of the constable's conduct to the Commissioners of Police,
for it required the strictest investigation, which he trusted
would take place before some magistrate other than himself,
for he had a very strong feeling on the subject.
One of the witnesses, Mr. Winter, of Hatton-garden, inter-
posed on the behalf of the officer, whose extraordinary con-
duct was, in his belief, occasioned by the confusion that pre-
vailed. The mob was of the most disorderly kind, principally
from about the cab-stands in Holborn, and the policeman
seemed very confused and overpowered by numbers.
Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that such evidence would ope-
rate in his favour : still, however, it was due to the public
that the conduct of an officer, who had so strangely acted,
should be publicly investigated ; for of all the cases he had
ever heard or read of, in which a cabman was concerned
with a passenger, the present was the very worst ; and to
mark his sense or it, and to prove to others of the defendant's
calling that the law was strong enough to check so abominable
an insult, he would commit the prisoner to the treadmill,
without fine, for two months, and further cancel his license
as a cab-driver, and order that he never again be entrusted
with one.

the place where the case was to be tried.
The Learned SERGEANT argued that the Felicidade
was not the property of the English Government. It has been
suggested that there was a locus penitentin, but that there
was no evidence of any desistance from the purpose ; but the
Learned Sergeant suggested that the locus penitentin did
not end till the slaves were on board.
Mr. COLLIER said, under no circumstance is a person
subject to the laws of a country who has not, by some
act, complied with them. This proposition has not
been :oaken. He would not say more of the distinc•
tion a 9 to prisoners of war. It has never been decided
in any case that any person on board an English vessel is
therefore subject to English laws. It is claimed on the other
side to extend the jurisdiction of England over the high
seas to the exclusion of other nations. This can never be done.
Surkera's submission was to superior force, and gives no
jurisdiction ; he threw his arms overboard when he surren-
dered. It is not shown that the jolly-boat from which the
Echo was taken was the jolly-boat of the
Felicidade. The capture, under the circumstances,
was illegal. The boat was on board the Felicidade. Any
English captain might evade the treaty by sendingea boat's crew
to any number he pleased on board English merchantmen; thus
giving them a legality to capture ' • that is, if the capture
be in this case thought lawful. As to the instructions,
those pointed out in the treaty of 1826 are by the treaty with
Brazil that if these instructions are not changed, they should
remain in force fifteen years after the slave trade was
abolished, and these endin6 only on 13th March,
1845; and this case occurring in February, the instructions
of 1826 were at the time in force. Again, it must be proved
that if a captain unlawfully detain a seaman, and he kill, the
case is murder. He quoted to the effect that it would not
be murder.
Mr. COLLIER having now concluded, the Court rose at a
quarter to four o'clock.
The Court will sit again on the same cause at two o'clock
on Saturday next.

THE SURREY STAG HOUNDS.—EXTRAORDINARY

_
RUN.
On several occasions since the establishment of the above
pack, the most splendid runs have been recorded, but that of
Thursday last was considered to be almost unprecedented in
the annals of sporting, both as regards speed and the country
rode over. The meet took place at the Swan, at Peckham,
when the celebrated hind called " The Fairy. " was uncarted
in Mr. Crittle's meadow. After taking a quiet survey of the
field, and apparently chosen her line of country, her lady-
ship went away at racing speed across Hayes-common away
to Hayesford, then by Bromley, Mason's-hill, Wedmore,
Chiselhurst, and through Sir Samuel Scott's park. Up to
this time there had been a fifty minutes' run, at a tremen-
dous pace, and the hounds were whipped off, and ten minutes
was given to them to get their wind. The country was most
severe, and a great many of the field got a puzzler. In going
over a gate the horse Mr. G. Tollett was riding hit the top
rail, and fell over upon his rider, who was a good deal
bruised, hut fortunately escaped without any serious injury.
At the expiration of the period allowed the hounds were laid
on again, and her ladyship, who seemed as fresh as ever, and
quite to enjoy the fun, took them away by Mottingham,
Ethan], Lee, and Woolwich, travelled back to Shooter's-hill,
Welling, and East Wickham, leaving Erith to the left, went
away nearly to Dartford, where she headed back, and was
taken at Mr. Collier's farm at North End, between Dart-
ford and Erith, after a most splendid run of two hours,
the pace being first-rate throughout. "The Fairy " is the
same hind that was taken last-year on board a vessel off the
Essex coast, when attempting to cross the river after an
extraorlinary run of three hours.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday Mr. John George Behrendo, of Wood-street-
buildings, Consul for the free city of Frankfort, accom-
panied by his solicitor, Mr. Finch, of the firm of Finch and
Shepheard, Old Jewry, appeared before the. Lord Mayor, for
the purpose of bringing under his Lordship's notice a com-
munication which he had just received from his Government
relative to certain fraudulent transactions of very great ex-
tent and enormity.
The communication was to the following effect :—Two
Englishmen, of the names of Henry King and George Neale,
at least representing themselves to be so named, dwelt for
some time at Weisbaden, near Frankfort, and established
for themselves, by the exercise of skilful address and
high apparent respectability, considerable credit in
the latter town. At length, by ingenious management,
they succeeded in obtaining in Frankfort, from various
jewellers and other shopkeepers, a large quantity of dif-
ferent sorts of goods, chiefly consisting of jewellery, diamonds,
pearls, Ecc. This property, together with some foreign bank
notes, which they contrived to get into their hands, proved
to be worth about 20,0001. A few days after they obtained
possession of the valuable mass, they suddenly disappeared,
taking with them bag and baggage. The precipitate departure
of the two partners in inquity, under such circumstances, con-
stituted what was considered, according to the laws of Frank-
fort, to be a "fraudulent bankruptcy," although unfortunately
for the ends of justice and those concerned in the vindication of
the law by the punishment of desperate criminals, the vali-
dity of that law was not recognised in English courts of
justice, and the authorities of Frankfort issued a request to all
the continental Governments to arrest the parties, and seize
all or any of the property described which might be found in
their keeping. Notice was also given to the British represen- '
tative at Frankfort, who promised to inform the English Go-
vernment, in order that they might assist in procuring for
the plundered the restoration of their property, if the offence
which had been perpetrated did not come within the limits
of British authority, so far as to sanction the interference of
the police in apprehending the delinquents should they be
found in England.
The Loan MAYOR was of opinion that immediate infor-
mation should be given to the police force, and he was con-
vinced that the press would most willingly lend its co-ope-
ration in such a case. The police of this country, when cent
to any part of the Continent, uniformly received the most
ready and important assistance from the foreign authorities,
from the highest to the lowest, and no doubt reciprocal aid
would be rendered, particularly in a case involving so serious
an amount of property.
Mr. Finch said the details of the whole of the property
which bad been thus fraudulently procured had been handed
to the police, and the plundered parties had promised, through
the department of police at Frankfort, a reward of 25,000
francs (1,0000 for the restiution of the whole amount, and a
proportionate sum for any part of it. King, who is believed
to be a Jew, is between fifty and sixty years of age, of short
stature, sallow complexion, and pointed nose, has a short
neck, and takes short steps in walking. Neale is between
twenty-six and thirty years old, and rather tall, has very
black thick hair, a large tongue, and fresh complexion, and
generally appears to be heated.
The LORD Mayoit--I am convinced that the most public
and satisfactory statement of the fraudulent transactions will
be made, and I hope the sufferers will receive some benefit
from the exposure, to which I most heartily give my consent.
The consul and his solicitor then withdrew, after having
thanked his Lordship, on the part of the High Senate ofFnuik-
fort, for his very prompt and anxious attention to their
request.
RAILWAY ROMANCING.—A gentleman of the name of
Baylis, who resides in St. Paul's churchyard, appeared
at the table, and said the Lord Mayor would very
Much oblige him by informing him whether the authority of
a magistrate extended to cases in which the conduct of cer-
tain individuals who were connected with railroads was such
as to leave an imputation of a serious kind upon the motives
by which they were influenced ?
The Loan MAYOR said his interference would entirely de-
pend upon the particular circumstances of the complaint.
Mr. Baylis stated that having seen an advertisement in the
newspapers announcing a railroad called " The Brighton and
Cheltenham Direct Railway," he made a written application
for shares, which was answered by an allotment. In the
allotment letter he was informed that he was to pay into a
banking-house the sum of 2/. 2s. per share ; that he was then
to receive a receipt, and that, upon signing the deed he
should be put in possession of the scrip. He had complied
with all the forms, according to the written directions, but
when he had signed the deed, and thus made himself respon-
sible as a shareholder in the concern, instead of the scrip a
sort of acknowledgment that he had performed the necessary
ratification was put into his hands, and he was informed that
on a future day the scrip would be ready for delivery. As
be was anxious that the Company should perform their part
of the duty prescribed to all, he called again and again for
the promised scrip, but all his attempts proved unavailing.
At last he was given to understand that on the preceding
day the managers had determined to proceed no further in
the business, and the speculation -was to be abandoned. He
thus remained in statu quo, without the money he had paid
upon the shares, amounting to 6.3/., without the scrip, and
merely holding the bit of paper acknowledging that he had
signed the deed.
The LORD MAYOR—You would no t, I suppose, have signed
the deed, if you did not at once exp ect to receive the scrip ?
Mr. Baylis—Certainly not. I would not have performed any
of the acts required by the letter of allotment if I had sup-
posed there would have been any delay.
The LORD MAYOR—It would have Been an awkward thing
if you had sold the shares at a preminni, and been obliged to
deliver them.—Mr. Baylis said he did not speculate upon a
premium in applying for the sharer„ and that he merely
wished to have them, or the money he laid paid as the deposit.
The LORD MAYOR, after consulting-n ith Mr. Goodman, the
chief clerk, said he could not see how .he could render any
assistance in such a case.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
On Saturday Edwin Power, a youth 19 years of age, was
charged before Mr. Burrell with being disorderly and threat-
ening the life of his mother, Mrs. Rose Rosina Power, the
proprietor of the New Grenadier, Crescent-mews, Be'grave-
square.
Mrs. Power said that defendant, who was a youth of
most ungovernable disposition, resided with her, and
if at all thwarted in his wishes. resorted to extreme vio-
lence. On Friday afternoon he was particularly so, because
she objected to give him five shillings to buy two rabbits,
and took up a carving knife and said he would do for her
and his sisters. With a view to have some peace in the
house she informed defendant that she would give him some
money if he would go away and get himself some situation,
and upon his agreeing to du so she gave him two sovereigns,
and he left the place. After passing a very restless night in
consequence of her son's misbehaviour, she was informed at
ten o'clock on that morning that he was in the house, and
had showed a pistol to tha pot-boy, and that the police had
been sent for. In consequence of what she was told she gave
the defendant into custody.
Escot, a policeman of the B division, produced a pistol,
powder, and flask, which he had found in prisoner's pos-
session.

Defendant made no reply to the charge.
Mr. BURRELL considered this an extreme instance of bru -
tality on the part of defendant, and called upon him to find
good bail.—lle was locked up.

Mr. Baylis observed- that he thought •the interference of a
magistrate might be sanctioned by the tei'rcumstances, as the
proceedings appeared to him to have allv-he essentials of the
offence of obtaining money under false pra tences.
The LORD MAYOR said, that the false Inretences, in order
to constitute an offence in law, must api ply to an existing
fact ; but if in this case there were any, false pretences, it
referred to a future fact, if he might use th, language. He
thought that a court of law, or the Court of Chancery, would
be the place in which reparation could be obtained. The
alternative was a disagreeable one, and the re would be, lar -
and by, in all probability, abundant cases. foi the occupa.%

would
tend to an adjustment, especially as there were ye- "

tempt any large purchaser to buy. The winter pros-
pects for the power-loom weavers are gloomy enough,
without any addition in the shape of dear food. Many
manufacturers are only working their machinery in the
day. Spinners, too, find it difficult to effect sales at last
week's currency ; indeed, the prices are the turn lower.

ROMANCE or REAL Lirr.--.A young American
planter named Da Costa, of immense-fox-lune, recently came
over to this country in search of a wife, and after visiting
some of the most fashionable cities and " spending his money
like a prince," without meeting the object of his search, he
paid a visit to Birmingham, and was standing one day at the
door of the Hen and Chickens, when, as old wives would say
(and circumstances in this case proved the truth of the say-
ing), the very person he came to England to look for warkad
across New-street, nearly opposite where he stood. Struck
with her appearance, he followed the lady, and with much
politeness expressed a wish for a better acquaintance, and a
desire to see her home. The young lady, a Miss Rimmer, of
Alcester, was at that time on a visit to Mr. Heely, Bristol-
road, to whose house the stranger accompanied her; but his
partner in the walk not quite liking such a romantic visitor,
referred him to her parents. The traveller was not to be
diverted from an object in search of which he had travelled
so far, and the little town of Alcester was shortly after well
nigh frightened from its propriety by a carriage and four
driving up at full speed to the house of Mr. Rimmer. After
many wonderings among the inhabitants who it could be, it
turned out that it was Mr. Da Costa come to request of the
parents permission to pay his addresses to their daughter.
Advice was asked of those with whom they usually advised,
and consent was given ; and the stranger gave such evidence
of the strength of his attachment, that he was not long in
finding his way to the heart of Miss Rimmer; .and though
many tales were afloat of what the modern " Blue Beard"
would do, he married her at Alcester Church on Saturday
week, three carriages and four conveying the parties who
graced the nuptial ceremony with their presence. The per-
sons whose daughter has thus become a wife are worthy
people in moderate circumstances; the lady poisessiug good
sense a. well as personal attractions; and the stranger has
shown himself; by his munificent presents, to be really what
he passes for, a man of vast wealth, and a gentleman. We
uAderstand that the eldest brother of Miss Rimmer is to ac-
company her to her new residence across the Atlantic, when
hil fortune, as wen el b,ere, will be made.—liiriningitani
ardor. • -
