UNION HALL.

Martin the ex-pugilist, who now keeps the Black Horse public-
house, linkman street. Southwark, presented himself before R.
J. Cue-Incas, Esq. on Tuesday morning, for the purpose of bring-
ing a charged felony against &mid as, one of the Fancy, well
known by the name of Dutch ims. After stating the nature of
the case, which be said he amid edmitaatiate, a warrant was granted
for Dutch Sam's appreiseden, which was given to Pop'', an *fa-
cer of this establishment, to emote; and the same afternoon the
akar took him into custody. when playing at skittles at the Dog
and Deck. Green street, Blackhlars.
It seems that Sam has been as towns of intimacy with Martin.
and from the insinuations thrown' out before the Magistrate. whit
Mathis wile also. The latter, it may be remembered, was a

young woman of good property, residing at litigate, who was
smitten with the appearance of Martin when be was trainiug theft
for one of his combats, and after a few difficulties had burn en-
countered she became his wife; the property, or the greater
part of it, to which she was entitled, being settled upon her.
—She and her husband have not been latterly quite so amicable
as in their courtship, and on Saturday morning last she suddenly
absented herself, without stating whither she was going. Sam, it
appears, was seen talking with her at the Mop/rant and Castle,
and she was afterwards observed setting off in a coach that goes
to Reigate. . _

The_ leading facts at present brought in support of the charge. as
stated on Tuesday evening before the Sitting Magistrates, are
these : Martin deposed that he had lost two five-pound notes, 38
sovereigns, and a coral necklace, on the morning of the 11th.tds
property he represented at being altogether locked up; and he had
since ascertained that the necklace had been pledged at a pawn-
broker's in the London-road for 15s. From the description given
of the person who pledged the necklace, he believed it to be the
prisoner.

The prisoner admitted having pledged the necklace at the request
of the prosecutor's wife, and the money was given her to enable her
to go down to visit her relations at Reigate. Sam then indignantly
declared that be was incapable of taking the money with which he
was charged. He said further, if Mrs. Martin were there, she
would confirm his statement.

Dick Curtis, who is denominated " the Pet of the Paley," was
in attendance on his friend Sam, and suggested that Airs. Martin
should be produced, as he was satisfied she would exonerate his
friend, if she were present.
Something was then said about her address, when Martin re-
marked that there would be no difficulty in finding her at litigate,
but that he should not send for her.

Cut tis now observed that he would himself go and endeavour to
bring her up.
After some further remarks respecting the unlikelihood of the
prisoner having committed the felony, he was renkanded, tc give kis
friends an opport unity of explaining t he mat ter, through Mrs. Martin.

LAMBETH STREET.

T. Zinger was charged with forging a check on Curtis's Bank for
26/. I4s. and issuing the same. to Mr. Lingzel, draper of Layton,
in Essex, who deposed, that the prisoner brought the check to him,
saying, be was pressed for the money, and had not time to go to
town. 'Thinking he was the servant of W. Cotton, Esq. by whom
it was purported to be drawn, he gave him the change, when the
prisoner offered him ss, for his trouble, which he refused. The
prisoner then bought 20 yards of cloth, which he paid for out of
the change. Witness kept the check ten days, and then paid it to
Mr. Strange, of Bishopsgate street, who returned it as forged.
Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, apprehended the prisoner in Tower
street, Blackfriars road, and on searching him found two blank
checks, of the description of the one in question.
In this stage of the business the prisoner declined any defence, and
was remanded.

Two watermen, plying at MS er stairs, were fined 201. each,
for obstructing passengers in their way to and from steam vessels.

NEWCASTLE POLICE.

Wednesday, Alderman Somme, the Sitting Magistrate, held to
bail John Dickinson, jun. of the Close, waterman, and John Gray,
late of Newcastle, hut now of Bly.tb, stovemaker, to appear at the
neat Sessions, when they will be indicted fur fighting„ at Sandgate
Gate, on Sunday forenoon, with a crowd of about 150 people about
