POLICE.

Bow-crass r.-14 to a late hour last night, Mr.
Benjamin Bloomfield had not given the bail required,
previous to his discharge, to answer what may be ob-
jected against him at the ensuing Sessions.

Illant.nottonou-sTnarr.—The Foreman and another
of the Jury of the Inquest on the body of the young
man who poisoned himself by taking arsenic, as proved
before the Jury in the Liberty of the Rolls on the pre-
ceding day, applied to the Magistrates to issue a pro-
cess to punish the Apothecaries' shopman who sup-
plied the poisonous ingredient without writing poison
on the cover which contained it, agreeable to the Act
of Parliament.

The applicant stated, that it was at the suggestion
of Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, that they came there.—
The deceased had gone to the shop, and stated that be
wanted the arsenic/or his sister, as rats ran over her bed.
He was first refused, when he went to a public-house
and gave a young man beer to accompany him back
to the shop, when he was supplied.
The Magistrates were not aware of any Act of Par-
liament which gave them jurisdiction to bring the
shopman before them, but if the parties would attend
this day they would consider the case.

UNION-HALL.ROW AAGINGST • G•NG OF YOUNG
PLavxas.—Richard Hughes, J. Morton, J. Spencer,
W. Morris, IV. Collard, and five other boys, the eld-
est of whom is not more than 16 years of age, were
brought before the Magistrate, charged with having
caused a very great disturbance in Haywood-court,
Prospect-place, St. George's•fields, in the progress of
exhibiting to their friends and the public, a 'fheatri-
cal performance called " The. Willer and his Mem."
It appeared from the statement of Lloyd the officer,
that though the theatrical establishment of those
young gen.lemen was quite in its infancy, the neigh-
bourhood in which it was carried on had already been
greatly disturbed by the proprietors and visitors. lie
had received information that the theatre, which bad
had been christened the Regency Theatre, the arena
of which was confined to a room in a small house, at
No. 5. Haywood-court, Prospect-place, was not entre-
fluently the rendezvous, at the hours of performance,
of some of the worst characters. Upon going to the
door of admission he saw the prisoner Hughes officiat-
ing as check-taker. Above the head of this officer of
the theatre was written upon the wall the following
notification—" Chez take* hear." The check-taker,
the moment he saw the officer, ran into the theatre,
and immediately an extraordinary scene of confusion
took place.
A large assemblage of young men and young women
had collected together, and the curtain (Wald blan-

het) bad** -been mind. or radiertissithod aside, to
disclose, " Wolfe and hiugang of robbers" preparing
for plunder, when the '4lfrighted check-taker pa%, ib
his head and cried 4' war-hawk." The word. was
enough. The few caddies with which this plait was
illuminated were extinguished, and all the anthem*
part of the tbe:atre ran towards the stage, and mingled
with " Wolfe and the other robbers." The officer had,
before he proceeded to ibturb this hopeful assembly,
dig obtained the assistance a man in the neighbourhood
who had suffered sometht ' from the amusements with
which some of those stage-struck heroes thought pro-
per to follow up their mote refined speculations, and
1 there being a, watch by this means both within and
without, the tea prisoners were apprehended and
lodged in the watch-house, where the constable told
them they were at full liberty to rehearse their next
performance, although he could not supply them with
appropriate seiner*
The Magistrate, Sir Richard Chambers, Esq. said
that the most effectual road to role was perhaps that
in which the prisoners bad commenced their career.
He should take care teal they should all receive some
punishment. The of recognised some old se-
ilitaintsnees amongst die prisoners, many of whom
-said they were mere spectators. and had paid their
kioney, two-peace a-piece, for admission. The prisoner
it'ughes said he was out of employment, and in his
anxiety to tiara a little money honestly, Lad under-
taken
to take ihe checks at the door. lie had never
played, and looped they would not take him for a thief
because he happened to have something to do with a
theatre. The theatre had, it appeared, opened for the
first time on Monday night. The Reigate's Opera had
bees selected, and the character of Filch recd lion
applaure than any other, although there wola great
many present who were perfectly well able to perform i 1
the part to the life.

Mr. Hawkins, the proprietar oSlltebonsetrhieh•;air

two young men, of respectable appearance, ba►d skirt
ten days ago called upon him, and asked Lion to let
the tenement at No. 5, (ywood►coort, to their mother,
who was to be in town in a few days. Mr. Hawkins
agreed to take ss. a week, but had no idea that his
house was to be converted into a theatre. He gave
possession of it to the young men ; but upon finding
what " gdiok►s on" were in his tenement, he deter-
mined, as the best way of getting back his possession.
to have the whole gang disturbed in the way described.
The prisoners were most of theus loudly deploring
their situation during this statement. They begged
for God's sake to be discharged, and promised never
snore to act or look at actors again as long as they
lived. The parents of some of them also begged bard,
but the Magistrate declared that every one of them
should go to the House of Correction.
Hughes was sent to Brixton for three months, and
the rest for one month each.

The Court of Common Pless,.which had adjourned
its Westminster Sittings after last term, in consequence
of the preparations then making for the approaching
coronation, to the 24th of this month, has farther ad-
jouroed them to the lst of November.
