POLICE INTELLIGEwCE.

BOW-STREET.
The bull-baiting case came on yesterday, on four information,
which were preferred by Charles Wheeler. Mr. Anor.eacs appeared
for the defendants. Mr. It. Martin, M.P. being present, 3k. Adel-
phus prefaced the proceedings by observing, that no bye-stawder
should promote or kinder the proceedings. After some sparring.
Mr. Martin said, he had been called to the bar, and was a lawyer as
well as Mr. Adolphus.
Mr. ADOLPHOS.—If you act as Counsel, well. Mr. Martin.—l de.
Mr. AssoLeuns.—Now I know you in a character.
The information charged the defendants, under Mr. Martini
Act, with wantonly and cruelly ill-treating a bull.
On Wheeler being called, an objection was taken by Mr. Adol-
phus that he was a party Interested, as he was liable to the costs if
the information was frivolous.

Mr. Martin.—The practice is, that one witness is sufficient; k
has been so in all former eases.

Mr. ADOLPHUS care nothing for your cases. The general ruk
of law is. that where a witness pays the costs, he isincompetent. k
is common at Nisi Prior to ask this question—" Are you answerable
for the costs?" and if he answers Yes, the witness is turned out of
the box.

Mr. Martin—l'll pay the costs.—Mr. Assotreus That will tut do.
Mr. Missnou., after heating both sides with exemplary pa-
tience, decided that Wheeler was not competent to give evidence,
he having an interest in the decision, so far as regarded the costs.
Wheeler begged to be heard, and began by Tee/nestle' that the
Magistrate would not suffer dm to be put down by the bullying of
Mr. Adolphus.
Mr. MINSMOILL.....Thit is highly improper language, Sir; sad if
you repeat it I will commit yen.
Wheeler begged pardon, and proceeded to observe, that he hal
on a former day obliged Mr. Adolphus, by consenting to a pmtposis-
meat ; and be now whited to have the same indulgence granted t•
him, in order that he might summon several high and noble per
sons, who would be competent witnesses to prove his case.
Some cOnversation on points of form took place, and the infor-
mation against. Hatcheior was withdrawn,and fresh summonses
ordered to be served upon the other three defendants, for their ap-
pearance on a future day. Summonses were also issu'ed to Fromm
the attendance of several persons as witnesses.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, in some concluding remarks on what bad fallen
from Mr. Martin respecting him, styled tlse Society, "'these Asso-
ciated Informers."

`Mfr. Martin—l tell you what, Sir •if you behaved like a Gentle-
Min, I would have treated you to-day with as much respect as if
you were of. the first rank or family in the kingdom ; but if you will
bring the manners of the place where you practice with you, you
Mint be met accordingly.
Mr. ADOLPNUS-^I boast not of my manners; bit this I know,.
that if I had not had the misfortune to meet with you,l should have
escaped one corruption.
The total absence of temper on both sides, in the discussion b-e-
-tween Mr. Martin and Mr. Adolphus; the loudness of their Loom,
and the disregard of the attempts of the worthy Magistratoto chock
the angry spirit that was so apparent, seemed to create surprise'even
among those who are most at home in the cock-pit and bull ring.
It was the subject of-general remark.
