POLICE INTIA,LIGE:\CE.

MARLBOROU6II-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

A person of vet.) respectable appearance, who gave his name
as Thomas Hone, was charged with causing an Ostructi,,ii and
disturbance at the Caledonian Fp.ncy Dress Ball last night, at
illis'a- rooms.

Police constable, No. 13 of the A division, stated that about
ten o'clock last Light he was on duty in King-street, his instruc-
tions being to prevent any person standing in the carriage way
so as to obstruct the line of carriages proceeding to set down,
when he observed the defendant standing in the carriage way.
and on being requested to go on he refused, and made use of
abusive language, calling witness a d—d scoundrel, and telling;
him thLt he paid for him. Several of the crowd followed his ex-
ample, and some of the carriages were obliged to turn out of the
line and press against the persons on the footway, and it was a
matter of astonishment that 11? accident occurred. The evi: and
inconvenience the defendant' was creating was pointed out to
him, but he persisted in remaining where he was, and became so
riotous and disorderly that he was taken into custody, and con-
veyed to the.stat.on-house.
The defendant 'aid that he had a ticket for admission to the
hall of the rooms, to see the company sit down, but not being
able to get in, thought he had a right to stand where he had
placed himself ; he had, however, not the least intention of
causieg any obstruction, and was extremely sorry if he had
done so ; he should have moved on, but' that the police handled
him very roughly.
Mr. MALTBY—Pray, what are you, Sir? Defendant—l am
the proprietor of an hotel in Albemarle-street.
Mr. MALTBY—'then you ought to have known how to con-
duct yourself in a better manner. I shall impose a fine of 40s.
on you, arid, in default of payment, commit you fer 14 days.
The defendant smiled at the idea of being committed for 14
days," and instantly paid the fine.
