CLERKEN WELL.

Edward Waddilove and Thomas Davis were
brought up a third time on remand on the charge
of combining and conspiring, with others not in cus-
tody, to fraudulently obtain and obtaining goods va-
rying in amount from 10s. to 301. from various trades-
men. Hannah Waddilove, wife of tha ibrmer prisoner,
was included in the same charge.
The informations of Mr. Cumming, carpet-manu-
facturer, Hatton-garden, from whom carpets were
obtained to the amount of 8/. 125., and of his clerks,
were then taken down by the clerk, as also those of
Mr. Wright, ironmonger, Kensington, who was de-
frauded of 61. 125.; of Mr. Greg-s, looking-glass-ma-
nufacturer, Leather-lane, a; Mr. Giles, Walham-
green, grocer, 2/. ; &T. The whole amount of goods
fraudulently obtained by the prisoners is valued at
nearly 1001. Mr. Combe determined on sending
them for trial ; but the greater part of Tuesday will
be occupied in taking down the remaining informa-
tions, to which day they are remanded.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. George Neesom, an elderly person, of respect..
able appearance, who stated himself to be an ac-
countant, residing in Cleinents-hme, was charged
before Mr. Greenwood with having been found under
suspicious circumstances in the dwelling-house of
Mr. Cherry, a tradesman, in Golden-lane, St. Luke's.
The prisoner appeared to have been very roughly
handled, his head being bound up, and his nose and
other parts of his face covered with adhesive plaster.
Mr. Thomas Cherry stated that he was brother to
the prosecutor, who had
placed him in charge of his
house and property in Golden-lane. On the previous
night he retired to rest at an early hour, but he was
awoke out of his first sleep by an alarming noise at
the door of his room, apparently caused by an attempt
to force it open. He immediately sprang out of bed,
and, on opening the door, he was confronted by the
prisoner, who was in the act of renewing his attack
upon it. Supposing him to be a thief, whose inten-
tions were to rob, and perhaps murder him, he in-
stantly knocked the prisoner down, and continued
beating him until h..... reduced him to a condition that
effectually incapacitated him from carrying his pre-
sumed nefarious designs into execution. He then
went for a policeman, and gave him into custody.
In answer to the charge the -prisoner indignantly
disavowed having harboured any felonious intention,
and said that he was invited into the house by a female
with whom he became accidentally acquainted, and
who turned out to be the prosecutor's housekeeper.
He remained drinking gin and water with her for a
considerable time, but finding that he WAS becoming
inebriated, he took his leave of her with the intention
of proceeding home. In his confused state of mind,
however, he unfortunately mistook the bed-room door
for the one opening into the street, but he was soon
made sensible of his error 11. the appearance of the
prosecutor's brother, who inflicted upon him such an
unmerciful pummelling that he did not expect to sur-
vive the night, and he was still aching all over from its
effects.
Mr. Cherry said he had every reason to believe that
the prisoner's statement was true, and he entirely ac-
quitted him of having entered the house for a felonious
purpose.
Court.
Mr. GREENWOOD said that under these circum-
stances, as there was noothercomplaint lodged against
the prisoner he should order his discharge.

GREENWICH.
Yesterday a respectably-dressed female applied to
Mr. Jeremy for his advice under the following cir-
cumstances :--She said that some time ago she had
taken a house in Deptford, and her landlord had
agreed to take Gs. per week clear of all taxes, but on
her tendering him the quarter's rent short of the rates
and taxes she had paid, he refused to accept it, on the
ground that he had made up his mind not to pay
Church-rates.

Mr. JEREMY—Why does he object to pay the Church-
rates in particular? Applicant—Why; Sir, he was a
Churchwarden, or overseer, or something of that sort,
and he says the parish owed him 251. on his accounts,
and he won't pay any Church-rate 3 till he has offset it.
Mr. JEREMY—WeII, that certainly is a curious way
of balancing accounts. There must be some mistake.
Applicant—lndeed, Sir, There is no mistake.
Mr. JEREMY—Why, no man would he so foolish.
Applicant--But he is, indeed, Sir : and, besides, I
don't think he understands the Law of agreements.
Mr. JEnEmY—What, are you a lawyer ?—(Laugh-
ter.)—Applieant—Dear me, no, Sir, but I can under-
stand common sense, and that's more than they do,
and I say if a man says, " I'll take so much a year
clear of all legal rates and taxes," that the agreement
includes Church-rates.—(Laughter.)
Mr. JEREMY—NO doubt of it, and if you can prove
such an agreement, you can be protected. I should
advise you to tender the money short of what you
have paid, and if he chooses to refuse it and put in a
distress, I will grant a summons for an illegal distress.
I must say, however, that these differences arise
lords would never dispute their agreements, but if
through the want of a little caution. Honest land-
the agreements were written ,in the rent-books there
could be no question. It hardly followed that a man
agreed with every tenant alike, although the houses
were adjoining and of equal value.
The applicant thanked the Magistrate and withdrew.

a sojourn of seven years on both sides of the Rocky
Mountains, where he employed himself in hunting the
buffalo, wild boar, and other denizens of the American
forest. He frequently encamped with the Indians. On
arriving in this city, after his sojourn in the wilderness,
Sir William exhibited a number of curious and remark-
ably interesting paintings, executed by an artist by
by whom he was accompanied. He is a man of very
unassuming manners, remarkable taste, and consider-
able talent. We understand that Sir William now
intends proceeding to his old haunts, and resuming
his forest life.—New York Paper.
