A man named George Wager, a photographer, 105, High-street, Poplar, and who has a sleeping apartment at No. 10, Mount-terrace, Whitechapelroad, was remanded by Mr. Burcham (who officiated for Mr. Paget) on Monday, and committed for trial by Mr. Partridge yesterday for a criminal assault on a girl named Adams, aged 11 years and 10 months. Both addresses of the man Wager were published on Tuesday in a morning newspaper. Mr. George 'Wade carries on business as a photographer at No. 5, Mount-place, Whitechapel-road, only five doors from 10, Mount-terrace, where the offender, Wager, rents a small room. Many people, without taking the trouble of instituting the necessary inquiries, have identified Wager with Mr Wade, who is the only photographer carrying on his business openly in the place, and the consequence has been interruption, annoyance, and yWade' insults all the week, as well as the loss of customers.
