The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had read the hi.,

slightest doubt on his mind that he ought not to alter th,
opinion he expressed at the time the case was argued

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, May 13.

JUDGMENT —TILE KING V. BARNEY LENNARD.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the judgment o:
the Court upon this defendant, who had been found guilt)
at the last assizes for the county of Lancaster, of assault.
ing some excise officers, and obstructing them in the e‘e
cation of their duty.
The defendant said he had no affidavit, or counsel to
speak in mitigation of punishment; but he could assure
the Court he was innocent of the charge upon which he
had been convicted ; that he was a hard-working man.
his employment commencing at five o'clock in the morning,
and not terminating until nine o'clock at night; and that
he was only a lodger at the house where the officers found
a private still.
The ATTORNEY...GENERAL said he was, at all time,,
unwilling to press for a heavy judgment upon person,,
the defendant's station of life; but the practice of obstru(
ing excise officers in the discharge of their duty had groAn
to such an alarming extent in Lancashire, particularly in
the town of Manchester, that some check must be put to
it. In that county (he was happy to say it was not gene-
ral throughout the kingdom) it had become almost v
matter of course, when the Excise had discovered a
private still, and took means to apprehend the partie,
carrying on the illegal traffic, for all the neighbours to
rise up and assault the officers, and often succeeded in
preventing them from doing their duty. He had thought
it right to mention those facts, and he wished also pub-
licly to state, that all such attempts in future would he
repressed by lawful authority, and the parties brought to
punishment. He did not press for a heavy judgment
against the de:mdant, who he wished to Won't the
Court had already been in :prison since the beginning o:
January.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in passing judgment, told the
defendant there could be no doubt, from the evidence.
that he had conducted himself in so outrageous
manner, that the lives of hie Majesty's subjects 111,1
been endangered. It was his bounden duty, wilen
he was taken into custody, to have gone quietly before
a magistrate; and then, if he could have established his it,-
nocence, he would have been discharged; but instead of
doing, it appeared that he had kicked the officers in the
stomach and other parts of their bodies in the most vio-
lent manner. The sentence of the Court was, that he b,
imprisoned in Salford House of Correction, and kept to
bard labour for the term of six months, and at the end of
that time to enter into his own recognizance of 401. t
keep the peace for two years.
The Cot; RT afterwards proceeded with the special paper.
POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
VIGILANCZ OF THE POLICE.—Late yesterday afternoon, and
again in the evening, a case came on for Investigation before Sir
RICHARD BIANIE, the circumstances attending which reflect great
credit upon the police of this district.
A young man, dressed in the highest style of fashion, was brought
up from the Covent-garden police station, in the custody of a police
constable, on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. His clothes
were much disordered and disfigured with dirt, and he appeared to
be by no means recovered from the effects of the liquor he had take::
many hours before. It appeared from the statement of the polio..
man, that about four o'clock yesterday morning the defendant was
found in a stable-yard adjoining the Harp public-house, in Little.
Ruasell.street, Covent-garden, in a helpless state of intoxication.
and was conveyed to the watch-house, where he was searched, and
a 1001. note and some silver, and a gold watch and appendages,
worth at least one hundred guineas, found upon his person, and de.
livered over to Mr. Thomas the superintendent. He was placed
in a comfortable bed ; and When he awoke, after two or three hot:it
refreshing sleep, he inquired anxiously for his watch and money.
and was at once informed of the amount that had been found upon
him. He, however, in a state of great agitation, said he had 4001.
in his pocket on the previous evening, and that he mast there-
fore have lost 3001. Mr. Thomas immediately commenced ar.
enquiry in the neighbourhood, and ascertained, amongst acme
market porters, that the young gentleman had been at several pub-
lic-houses treating persons to liquor, and chewing his money. Mr.
Thomas went to Mr. Platt's, the Unicorn, at the corner of Ha..
rietta-street, and Mr. Platt produced a 1001. note, which he sr..
some well-dressed young man had left In his care some hours bt.
fore, adding, that he had consented to take it. because he thought
the owner might lose it, and that he had given hiven him a receipt
for the money, with the sign and situation of the house described.--
Mr. Platt went to the watch-house, and identified the defendant a.
the person who left the bank note with him as he had described.
The defendant in the mean time had come more to his senses, and
informed the superintendent that lie recollected having been to some
public-house, near the Surrey Theatre, over night, and believed
that he had left the other 2001. in the care of the landlord.
Mr. Thomas, in the course of the afternoon, brought him to this
Office, and having related the circumstances to Sir R. RIRXIC. 0:-
feted to accompany the defendant in search of the public house where
be thought he had left the money.
They left the Office for that purpose, and last evening )Ir. Thord,
came again before Sir RICHARD, and stated that he accompanied the
defendant to the neighbourhood of the Surrey Theatre, and wet; t.•
every public.liouie for a circuitof at least half a mile, but could tear.
no tidings of the money. It then occurred to him that it wan very
likely the oyster shops in the vicinity had been visited by the deferti.
ant ; and after visiting several he went into one, the master of
which immediately recognised the defendant, who, he stated, ea,
there for some hours on Wednesday night, much intoxicated, and
lying about on the benches ; and that before he went away he cello:
a policeman, of the division letter I', into the house, and gave hio
a sum of money in Bank-notea. Mr. Thomas, on hearing this.
went to Mr. Dowling, the superintendent of one of the Surrey 41..
visions, and from him ascertained that the men of the din istor.
letter P. were of the Camberwell district. He went with the
defendant to Camberwell, and there learned that the man called ire
by the defendant to the oyster room to receive his money was name:
Dawson (for the man had reported the transaction to his superiors„
that his number was 105, and that he lived in a street, which way
named, in Lambeth. Mr. Thomas was on his return in search of Das -
son, when be met him on the road in his uniform going to his duty.
and making himself known by the production of his warrant, the
police constable immediately handed him over twoßank of England
notes for 1001. each, which the defendant recognised by the dar‘•
'and numbers to be his own. Mr. Thomas then made inquiries a,
to the defendant himself, and ascertained that he was a young gen-
demean of fortune residing temporarily with his brother in Great
Charlotte-street, ilackfriars-road, and that he had received the
money on Wednesday. At the earnest inquest of the defendant,
who was completely exhausted, Mr. Thomas allowed him to go to
bed at his brother's, but kept the watch and money until he had
the sanction of the Chief Magistrate for delivering it up.
Sir R. Bruce complimented Mr. Thomas, anti said the pr.
perty would of course be delivered up to the young gentleman tr.
his applying to the office to-morrow (this day.)
