watch-bonse, Mrs. Osborn showed no unwillingness to
go ; but Cottle, who mistook her coolness for impudence,
would•nse force, and dragged her with much violence
the whole of the way. Osborn, the constable, having
finished his supper, had just taken his magliterial chair
for the night, and was not a little surprised that the first
prisoner brought before him should be his. own wife.
Mrs. Osborn, being under no alarm for the issue of the
charge, bad presence of mind enough not to notice her
husband, who on his part also kept his countenance,and
proceeded to the hearing of the charge with all the as-
sumption of dignity as if the prisoner had been a perfect
stranger to him. The watchman detailed his accusation
with much minuteness; said the prisoner was conduct-
ing herself in a very disorderly manner; that he knew
her to be a common street-walker on his beat ; that she
bad the impudence to come up to him and tell him he
was drunk, and un his attempting to bring her to the
watch-house, she offered so much resistance that he was
obliged to brine her by force. The prisoner was then
formally heard in her defence, and from her statement,
corroborated by the evident intoxication of the watch-
man, Mr. Constable decided that she was the aggrieved
party, and recommended her to prefer her charge against
the watchman for the assault, in thus improperly taking
her into custody. This was accordingly done in due
form, and Cottle ordered off to the Compter ; but before
his departure. to his great surprise and mortification,
he saw his prisoner claim the constable of the night for
her husband, give him the key of the street door out of
her pocket, and affectionately desire him not to stay out
later than there was occasion.

Cottle, in his defence before the Magistrate yester•
day, stated that he was very subject to the cramp, and
it was a touch of this disorder which occasioned that
reeling about which Mrs. Osborn had mistaken for
intoxication; and said his taking her to the watch-
house was occasioned by the abusive language that she
used towards him.

The general character of Mrs. Osborn, who is, it
seems, a very inoffensive woman, and her husband's
testimony as to the state of the watchman at the time,
rendered this ingenious defence altogether nugatory.
As there was no personal harm done to his wife, the
constable was not anxious on his own account to press
for any farther punishment upon the prisoner. The
Alderman, however, considered it to be highly neces-
sary to make an example of him. 11,ferenre was ac-
cordingly had to the New Police Act pass.•il last Ses-
sions, Ist and 2►l Oeo. IV. cap. 11S, which gives an.
tliority to any two Justices, upon p. oof of any mis
conduct or delinquency on the part of any constable,
patrol, or watchman, to suspend the individual, givinp
notice of the same to the persons by %, how he WWI ap-
pointed, and the individual so suspended is rendered
incompetent to hold such office for ever after. 3lr
Alderman Scholey did not think proper to act upon
this statute, but deemed it more advisable that the
Common Council of the Ward should he made ac-
quainted with the circumstance, and requested or attend
before the Alderman at a future hearing, for which the
prisoner was remanded.

nook, a constable on duty at the watch-house, de-
tected the grave-digger leaving the Church-yard on
Sunday night, with as touch lead as he could well
stand under, and lie took him into custody. The pon-
derous load turned oat to be coffin plates wrenched
from coffins.

Wyatt came forward to prove for his friend, the
grave-digger, that the lead was his perquisites, and by
virtue of his employment he bud consigned it to the
grave-digger.
The defence of Howe was, that in digging graves
the shovel was impeded by the lead separated from
coffins which were rotted. But appearances negatived
this assertion, as some of the plates were of dates as
recent as 1817, and instead of rotting off the coffins,
tl.e metal bad been wrenched off the depositaries in the
vaults. _ _

'l'he prisoners were remanded for another hearing.
IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.-•-••YeS-
tertlav a case of very general importance came on
before Mr. AIIAINWARING, the sitting Magistrate. A
man and his wife named Nutter, were brought from
St. James's watch-house, charged with illegally re
moving goods subsequent to a distress for rent being
placed in a house where they resided.
By the evidence, it appeared that a person named
Reid was in possession of several houses in the neigh-
bourhood of Rupert-street, and had suffered the oc-
cupiers of two of them, to contract a debt for rent to
the amount of 120/. which, after repeated applications,
he could never receive, in consequence of which be
employed a solicitor to levy a distress on the premises,
at that time fall of lodgers, who did not owe any
rent. A potter was put in possession; but by some
means the lodgers contrived to remove the whole of
their furniture without his knowledge. The solicitor
having determined to discover the manner in which
they were taken away, watched, and on Sunday even-
ing the male prisoner was observed carrying away a
mattraps ; he was stopped with it, and conveyed to the
watch-bouse, and there charged with illegally remov-
ing goods when a distress was levied against them
This being the substance of the accusation against
the prisoners before the Magistrate, they, in their
defence, said they bad only been married a short time,
and bad contrived to purchase a little furniture, which
they conceived they had an undoubted right to re-
move, as they were not indebted for rent, and were
removing the mattress to another lodging.
The Solicitor then said, that he be being the person
authorised to levy the distress, Mr. Reid hail thr..at-
ene.l he should pay the amount of the distress, 1:20!.,
and unless the prisoner confessed bow the goods were
removed, or made some arrangement, he should prose-
cute him under an Act of Parliament to double the
value.
Mr. MAINWARING thought it was an illegal posses-
sion, but not a criminal one; if the parties were sent
to a jury, he did not think a conviction would follow,
and it was a very hard case, as the prisoners owed no
rent; but, notwithstanding this, the goods, according,
to law, actually became the property of the landlord,
after a distress was levied. The Worthy Magistrate
further said if they prosecuted the prisoners, they must
introduce into the indictment that the prisonerrr had a
criminal intention in carrying away the mattress.
The Solicitor asked if he could bare a search war-
rant against the man to whose house the goods were
snspected to have been removed, if they hail evidence
they were clandestinely or fraudulently takers away.
Jr. MAI mwattiNu, after some aoutiacrettoil, said he

had no jurisdiction in the case ; and ate'
was a very hardotie against the prisal,i,
to he discharged.
