( R,l IN AL COUR T.-(T L; D A -T•)

William Brown was convicted of stealing a purse,
two half-crowns, and other monies, the property of a
.gentleman named Osborne, from his person, and hav-
ing been several times convicted of similar offences,
was sentenced to ten years' transportation.
Levi Latckman was indicted with stealing twenty-
six. watches, eighteen silver spoons, and other articles
of considerable value, the property of his 'master,
Jacob Tobias.

The prosecutor not appearing, the prisoner, who
had been out on bail, and who had rendered to-day,
was acquitted.

Mr. t3LARRIF.;ON applied on his behalf for a copy of
the indictment, which the Learned Judge declined
granting till the close of the day, in order to afford the
prosecutor an opportunity of attending and explaining
the reason of his non-appearance.
Fredericl Shackleford was indicted with unlawfully
obtaining, under false pretences, on the 16th of May
a large quantity of silks and other goods, of the value
of nearly 1001., the property of Robert Milburn, with
intent to cheat him thereof.

Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. Price defended the prisoner.
rom the statement of the Counsel f]r the prose-
cution, it appeared that the prisoner on the 17th of
May last called at the house of the prosecutor, and
stated that his name was Robert William Beaumont,
that he had just commenced in the drapery business,
in Week-street, Maidstone, and that he-was desirous
of dealing with the prosecutor; he could give him
good references, and would pay for part of the goods
down in cash. Upon these representations the pro-
secutor agreed to serve him with goods, and the pri-
soner ordered articles to the amount of between 801.
and 1001. The goods were sent, according to the
.order of the prisoner, to the Swan-with-two-Necks,
when 301. Was paid by him on account. On the next
day the prisoner ordered goods to the amount of 771.,
and paid 251. on account. On the 21st he ordered
goods to the amount of Si.; on the 23d to the extent
of 4/. 13s. ; and on the 31st to the amount of 861.55. 9d.
On the Ist of June the prisoner paid 331. on account.
On the 14th of July he ordered goods to the amount
of 14/. las., and paid 101. Bs. on account, which left
a balance of 1741. 16s. 7d., for which he had given a
bill of exchange, which had not yet come to maturity.
The prosecutor having been apprised that the goods
were never sent to Maidstone, but were carried to
another public-house, and there distributed among
other persons who were in connection with the pri-
soner, and also having ascertained that the prisoner
was not Robert William Beaumont, instituted the
present prosecution
The case, which appears to occupy the
Court till a late hour, was proceeding when our
Evening Edition went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—(TINS DAY.)
Henry Grzffin was charged with stealing a horse
and cart, two hampers a bed and bedding, and two
boxes, the property of Mr. Little, of Rotherhithe.
The prosecutor stated that he was at the White
Horse, in Fore-street, on Saturday. His horse and
cart were at the door, and when he came out of the
White Horse, he found that horse and cart, were
gone. He happened to take the right direction and
saw the cart about two streets distant from the White
Horse. He thought the horse had strayed, and
called out to it, and the horse knowing his voice
stopped at once. Witness came up, and then he saw
the prisoner driving. The prisoner, when he saw
the prosecutor immediately jumped down and ran
away. Witness cried out lustily, "stop thief," and
after a short but sharp chase he was secured.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial on this
charge, but upon the application of the Inspector of
police, he was ordered to be brought up again on
Thursday, in order that another charge of a similar
description might be gone into against him.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(Tills DAY.)

John Harrold, Henry Hughes, and John Wilkinson,
respectable young men, were placed at the bar on the
following charge :
Park constable No. 8, stated that about four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, he saw the defendants within one
-of the inclosed plantations in Hyde-park, throwing
brickbats and stones up into the chesnut and oak trees,
with the view of breaking off the ends of branches
having clusters of nuts and acorns on. On taking
them into custody he found several pieces of the
branche.; in, their possession, and also a large quantity
of horse chesnuts and acorns, which to them were per-
fectly valueless ; the injury, however, to the planta-
tion was incalculable through many of the trees
taking the rot and dying in consequence.
The defendants pleaded that they were not aware
of the injury they were doing.
Mr. HARDWICK said it was preposterous that young
men of their age should not know that they were
committing acts of wanton mischief. Every means
were taken to render the parks as agreeable as possi-
ble to the public; and they must have been aware
that they were doing wrong in entering a plantation
and damaging the trees and shrubs growing
there. The law in such cases, which, no doubt, the
public was unaware of, was most severe; the penalty
for the first offence being any sum not exceeding 51. ;
for the second; whipping, and not exceeding twelve
months' imprisonment ; and for the third, transporta-
tion. In the present instance, he (the worthy Magis-
trate) should fine each of the defendants 205., or ten
days' imprisonment, and he hoped it would be a cau-
tion to others. _ _ _

The fine was immediately paid. At the suggestion
of Mr. atunwicx, notice will be placed in the Parks
stating the severity of the law for damaging or de-
stroying the shrubberies, plantations, 8:c.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.

- - - -•.
(THIS I)AY.)
Mr. APCIIRISTIE, the Revising Barrister, sat at ten
o'clock this morning.
The Learned BARRISTER proceeded to deliver udg-
ment in the case of a party of the name of Collinson,
who claimed the right to vote 'as a liveryman of the
Grocers' Company, but who was objected to on the
ground that he had lived abroad fbr the last two years.
The family of the claimant, however, resided in the
City in the meantime. Mr. Marr, the Conservative
agent, contended that there was no such residence in
the case as could entitle the party to a place on the
register. The matter was argued last week, and
judgment reserved till to-day.
The REVISING BARRISTER now held, in a lengthened
judgment, that the claim was valid. It appeared from
a variety of authorities that a 'party was to be con-
sidered a bona fide resident who inhabited a house
through his family, and .who was thus subject to the
public rates. That was the decision of various Judges,
and it had always been acted on by Committees of the
House of Commons. He was bound to follow those
authorities, and retain the name on the list.
The lists of the Liverymen were then proceeded
with, but no case of general interest arose.

DOVER.—On Saturday last a large anchor,
weigh-
ing-about 19 or 20 cwt., and supposed to be from a Dutch
foundry, was brought into Dover harbour. It mils
found four days before, about 50 miles from thi3 places
in the German Ocean, Opposite the North Foreland, but
at some distance out at sea, by some fishermen, in whose
nets it became entangled. Having obtained assistance
from some other beats, they lashed a cable to it, and it
was finally brought on shore. From its appearance
present, it is thought to have been sunk foe a periodlittle
short of 20 years. It is, however, still in good preservation,
he arms, which are of wood, e:rg apparently as sound
s when first cut.
