      Monday, Juse 2. House Of Lords.—Lord Lyn...

      orthodox Presbyterians in Scotland . Anything was better than standing still . Ignorance could not stand still , year after year its evils would multiply , and there was no greater enemy to social improvement . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir K . Iscus enlarged upon the solemn trust committed to the Church of Scotland to provide education for the people , and denounced the proposal by which that duty aud privilege was to be taken away , and instruction disassociated from religions teaching . Tbe present system was faithfully administered , producing the best nesults , and

      if it was inadequate iu extent it might easily be widened and invigorated . But he called on the house to reject a bill which would make religion a Secondary consideration . ( Hear . ) Mr . M'Gregor believed tbat the bill would confer a great boon oa Scotland , and be accepted by the great majority of right thinking persons in 'flat part of tbe kingdom . ( Hear , bear . ) Mr . Cowas was satisfied tbat no country could be hapnv or prosperous where the people were not religiously taught , and therefore opposed the

      measure . Mr . Guariews apprehended that the proposed -scheme would prove unsuccessful , and as it was virtually untried , wished the house at all events to delay adopting it until more time had been allowed for consideration and experiment . Lord J . RUSSELL , in reply to Sir R . Inglis , observed that no two propositions could be more distinct than those of Mr . Fox and Lord Melgund . The object of the former was to establish schools expressly for secular instruction alone , supported by local assessment ; whereas this bill provided that the hoards it proposed to establish should take measures for religions instruction . The only case in which such instruction would be excluded under the bill was where all the local committee should

      be of opinion that religious instruction ought not to be given ; but looking at the opinions of the people of Scotland , he thought such an instance would hardly occur . At present , the means of instruction in " Scotland were utterly insufiicient ; iu 790 parishes no fewer than 329 localities were without schools of any description , and if it were proposed to enlarge and extend the present parochical system without alteration , objections would immediately arise . Tho Church of Scotland was notnow in a position to undertake the general superintendence of the people . The Free Church and tbe United Presbyterians , both dissenting from that Church , with an equal number of members , would object to the extension of a system confined to half the

      Presbyterians of Scotland . Bat the Free Church and the United Presbyterians did not differ from the Established Church in any matter which concerned the teaching of the poor } they differed only ia respect to Church patronage and Church discipline , which ought not to come into discussion in schools ; there was , therefore , no reason why the ministers and laymen of the three bodies should not unite together in establishing and regulating schools , and appointing school-masters . He concurred in the panegyric pronounced by Sir IX . Hugh ' s upon the fruits ofthe parochial school system ; bnt its basis had become too narrow , and Parliament shonld found a system upon tbe wants and agreements of the three religious bodies comprising the mass of the people of Scotland . Sir G . Q tzuK observed upon the inconsistency of members , including the Prime Minister , who

      supported the present bill though they had recently opposed Mr . Fox ' s proposition for a similar measure In England . The deficiency of means for education was experienced chiefly in towns of very modern growth , and had been much overrated . Noticing that the statements upon tbe poist were contradictory , he refused to assent to tbe hill until he could be fully assured tbat it would not bar religious teaching from the people of Scotland . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Scoir also opposed the second reading . After a brief reply from Lord Melgukd the bouse divided—For the second reading 121 Against 137—13 Tbe bill is consequently lost . The County Courts Further Extension . Bill passed through committee . The house resumed , and adjourned at half-past five o ' clock until noon the next day . THURSDAY . Jo » b 5 .

      H 07 J 3 S OF LORDS . —The house occupied a brief lining in the transaction of . some routine business . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met at noou , whoa the consideration , in committee , ofthe St . Albans Election Bill was proceeded with . Clause 13 aaviug been proposed , Mr . J . Stuart objected to any further progress being made in a bill , whose principle he looked upon as defective , and moved that the chairman leave the chair . This amendment was discussed and carried to a division , when it was negatived by oi votes to 10 . The committee , therefore , went on with the bill , -but , shortly after , the Chairman reported progress , with leave to sit again , and the house adjourned to five o ' clock . On resuming at tbat hour , Sir G . Grey moved ¦ the second reading of the Metropolis Water-works BUI .

      This measure , which was introduced by the government , belonged to the class of prirate bills , and was opposed on many questions , principally on account of the variety of private interests with which it was said to threaten injurious interference . An amendment was moved by Mr . Moffat that the bill he read a second time that day six months . Sir G . Ghev , after explaining the principles on which the government bad founded their proposed measure , trusted that the house would consent to the second reading , offering to send the bill afterwards before a committee of selection , where that snd s- « ne other rival schemes might be investigated and compared by a board composed of disinterested members of the legislature . After a discussion , protracted until nearly eleven O ' clock , the house divided—For tbe second reading 95

      For the amendment 79—16 Mr . T . Bakixq moved a resolution setting forth that the recent Excise regulations , by which the dealer * were allowed to mix chicory with coffee , had stimulated adulteration and other f rudulent practices with respect to the article in question . The nOB . member proceeded to show , that the relaxation permitted in the case of coffee was contrary to the habitudes of the Excise , afforded nearly complete impunity to fraud , discouraged the honest trader , and injured tbe colonial producer . Sir J . Teouopb vindicated the home growers of chicory . They furnished the town grocers with an honest article , and had no share in the introduction ofthe unsavoury ingredients too often -discovered in the compound sold in the shops . After a few words from Lord H . Vane ,

      The Chascemob ofthe Exchequeb believed that the mixture of chicory and coffee was quite as Wholesome , and by many consumers deemed more palatable than coffee alone . As a practical question it was found impossible to prevent the admixture , and the Treasury had consequently withdrawn the penalties for an offence which they could not prohibit . The fraudulent and noxious adulterations practised by some dealers belonged to the tricks of trade , which had a wide range . It could hardly be reckoned among the duties of a government that of guaranteeing to purchasers a genuine article . The public must take care of itself . Mr . SrasiiST found that the Excise interfered to prevent adulteration in pepper , tea , aud tobacco , and wished to have the same supervision extended to coffee .

      Colonel Thompson explained tbe alleged decrease in the consumption of coffee by the fact that the working classes were better off and bought meat instead . Sir J . Ttreu . opposed the resolution . Mr . Wasisi declared that the government went out Of their way in order to sanction a system of fraud . Mr . Hoke , disapproving of all excise restrictions , could notrecommendameasare that would enhance the vexation and trouble they occasioned . After a few words from Sir W . Joliffe and Mr . Bass , a division was called , when there appeared—For the resolution ... ... 89 Against ... •¦• •¦• «» ... 94

      The National Loan Society And Mr. Stallw...

      THE NATIONAL LOAN SOCIETY AND MR . STALLWOOD . In the Star of last week there appeared a critique by E . Stalhrood , upon an address issued by the above body . We have no wish to enter into a newspaper controversy upon the merits or demerits of our Society ; bnt justice to ourselves demands that the . errors into which , the writer has fallen should be exposed , and that we shonld be exonerated from the necessity which he modestly proposes , viz ., that of , dissolving the Society , and returning the money and scrip to the shareholders . The

      writer states , that we could not have read the Bill for Winding up the Company , or we could not calculate upon receiving a profit from the £ 20 , 000 , paid in sums under £ 1 6 s ., or one share . '' If Mr . Stallwood had been careful to examine , he would have found that we did not base our calculations upon receiving one fraction of dividend from that source . We stated that , " calculating the total expenditure of the Company , for which we have no effects , as law charges , aid money , loss by bank , & c ., to be $ 17 , 000 over and above corresponding receipts , this would be a loss upon the total

      capital received of 3 a . in the £ 1 . The dividend—deducting this loss—would then depend npon what price the Land and Buildings of the Company realised . Thus , if the Land and Buildings at O'Connorville ( supposing that to represent the whole estates ) , cost £ 8 , 000 , and is sold for £ 4 , 000 , or 10 s . in the £ 1 , thisdeducting the Ss . in the £ 1 loss—would give a dividend of 8 s . 6 d . in tbe £ 1 . " The writer refers us to the words of the Bill . He ought to know that the Joint Stock Companies Winding-TJp Act , on which the Bill is founded , does not recognise less than a share .

      and that tbe legal gentlemen connected with the case believe , that the Master in Chancery will be guided by that , though the Bill gives him power to modify it . The writer must also know that many parties holding scrip , have left the country—that a considerable quantity is lost and destroyed—tbat the expense attending the proving of small amounts will he greater than the dividend to he realised on them , and that great difficulty will in all

      cases attend the identifying of any claim where the party does not hold scrip , whether it is done by affidavit or otherwise . Wo merely refer to this probable source from whence the dividend on scrip will be increased in order to act as a check to the idle rumours respecting the lowness of its probable amount ; but we have not in any way based our calculations upon them , and they cannot at all affect the stability of our Society .

      The Desecration Of The Monument Erected ...

      THE DESECRATION OF THE MONUMENT ERECTED TO THE MEMOBY OF WILLIAMS AXD SHARP .

      The United Councils of the Tower Hamlets and other Chartist friends , met on Sunday afternoon at the Chartist Hall , Golden-lane , to take tbe above circumstance into consideration . Mr . Arnoii in the chair . Mr . Shaw stated the facts connected with the damage done to the monument , and narrated tbe proceedings which the council cad taken to procure an investigation into the case . A deputation had been appointed to wait on the Directors of the Cemetery , but tbey bad received no answer to their

      inquiry as to the time when a deputation would be received . They had hitherto in the various public funerals which had taken place at the Victoria Cemetery received every attention from the managers ; and if the idea once got abroad that the monuments in the Cemetery were not safe from outrage , the property of the shareholders would become deterioated in value , and even the dead would not be considered safe in such custody . It was therefore the interest as well aa the duty of the directors to investigate the circumstances , and also to repair the monument .

      Some considerable discussion took place as to the legal liability of the Directors to make good any damage done to property placed in their trust . Mr . Suaw thought that tbey had no legal claim , but he believed that they would not fail of receiving redress if they procured an interview with the Directors . Mr . Pembbib stated that at William ' s funeral the large concourse of spectators caused some of the plants to be injured ; the committee for conducting the funeral had to pay for the damage done ; and on the same principle the Directors should pay for the damage done to property entrusted to their keeping .

      Mr . Wheeler moved , and Mr . Stokes seconded — " That the deputation previously appointed wait upon the Manager of the Cemetery and endeavour to arrange the matter with him , aud that failing in this , they should ascertain the time and place of the Directors meeting , and wait upon tbem , demanding redress . Should this not be granted , that they , in conjunction with the Council , should be empowered to' call a public meeting npon the subject . " Messrs . Shaw and Araott supported the resolution , which was carried unanimously . The meeting adjourned until Wednesday evening , to meet at the Crown and Anchor , Waterloo town .

      Robert BbisrIbt , op Hasukodbn , has forwarded us a letter expressing bis gratitude to Mr . O'Connor for his long and well-tried services in the cause of the people , fie says he was a disciple of Hunt , and since his death he has followed the leadership of Mr . O'Connor , and been a regular subscriber to the Northern Star . That gentleman ' s writings havekept him from falling iato many traps , and himself and several of his friends feel disappointed when they do not find a lengthy letter weekly from him . The writer concludes by calling upon Mr . O'Connor to pursue the straightforward course he has hitherto done , and expresses his best wishes for him both here aud hereafter . Excellent however as this letter is , reflecting alike credit to

      the bead and heart of the writer , it would be impolitic on our part to give it in extenso . For the satisfaction of onr corressondent we may state that sentiments in unison with his own are entertained by a numerous portion of the working classes .

      W ORSHIP-STREET . —Distressing Cask . — 'On Saturday last Mr . Dldbui Pitt , a dramatic author , and for many years a prominent actor at several ofthe theatres , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , charged with having stolen two pillows , two blankets , and various other articles , the property of his landlady , Mrs . Lydia Moggridge , residing in Old Gloucester-street , Hoxton . —The prosecutrix , who displayed a somewhat exasperated feeling towards the prisoner , state d that he had lodged in her house for a considerable time past , and " that from circumstances having occurred tbat morning which excited her suspicions she was induced to enter his sleeping apartment , and on

      examining it she discovered that three sheets , two pillows , and a variety of other articles had been carried away . The prisoner was absent at the time she missed the property , but shortly after returned home , and on charging him with having clandestinely disposed of them he at once admitted the fact , and strongly urged her to allow him a sufficient time to enable him to replace them ; but , as he owed her some rent also , his promises for the payment of which he had been either unwilling or unable to keep , she denied complying with his request , and having sent for a constable gave him at once into custody . —On being called upon for bis defence the prisoner , who exhibited an acute sense of the degrading position in which he was placed ,

      and was evidently labouring under extreme nervous debility , assured the magistrate that he had been compelled to act as he had done by tbe pressure of severe distress and privation , which had reduced him to the last extremity , and mentioned as a proof ot the suffering he had endured that he had actually not eaten a morsel of food for three days . —Mr . Hammill asked him if any of his friends would come forward and compensate the woman for the amount of loss she alleged she had sustained ?—The prisoner despondingly shook his head , and intimated a doubt of their doing so . —Mr . Hammill said it was certainly a very painful case , but , as the charge was not only established , but indeed admitted by the prisoner himself , he had no

      alternative but to remand him for re-examination on that day week . —The constable into whose custody the prisoner was given then applied for instructions as to how he should dispose of a bottle containing a considerable quantity of laudanum , which ho had found on the prisoner at the time of his apprehension , and which the accused had since repeatedly demanded should be delivered up to him . —Tho prisoner explained that he had for a long time past been compelled to use the narcotic referred to to alleviate the pain he endured from an internal complaint with which be was afflicted , and he therefore trusted the magistrate would make an order for its being delivered up to him . —Mr . Hammill , however , refused to make any such

      order , and told the prisoner , that if the state of his health was such as to require the administration of that or any other drug , it would he properly administered by the surgeon of the prison , at whose hands he might depend upon receiving every necessary attention . —The prisoner was then removed ; but , before the magistrate left the bench , Mr . Douglass , the proprietor of the Standard Theatre , in Shoreditcb , hurried into tbe court , and , stating that he was acquainted with the unfortunate prisoner , whose melancholy position he much commiserated , requested to know whether the magistrate would accept bail for tbe prisoner ' s future appearance , as he should very much regret if the accused should be subjected to the additional disgrace

      of being incarcerated . —Mr . Hammill at once consented to accept bail , which he fixed at the prisoner himself in £ 30 , and two sureties in £ 25 each ; and , Mr . Douglass having consented to be answerable for both amounts of bail , the prisoner , who appeared to be so thankful he could scarcely give utterance to his feelings , was thereupon liberated . The large Silk Robbery is SraAmBUw . — Nathaniel Palmer , a journeyman weaver and parasol-maker , who stood charged with having , in conjunction with a man named Richard Hurst , a trimming manufacturer , who has absconded from his bail , broken into the premises of Mr . John

      Smith , a trimming-manufacturer in Charlottestreet , Bethnal-green , and stolen silk , jewellery and other property , to tbe amount of £ 1 , 500 , was placed at the bar for final examination . Sergeant Teakle now stated that he had no further evidence to offer against the prisoner Palmer , but he wished for a further remand on that already gone into , as the man Hurst had hitherto succeeded iu eluding pursuit ; but they had every expectation that tbey would be able shortly to effect his recapture , for which a reward of £ 10 had been offered by his bail . Mr . Vann , who appeared for the defence , strongly opposed the application . Mr , Arnold considered that there was not sufficient

      proof of recent possession of stolen property , on the part of the prisoner to justify bis further detention , and he should therefore order him to be discharged .

      THAMES . — Boatswain Smith again . — George Smith , seventy years of age , and residing at 23 , Wellclose-square , Whitechapel , well known as a self-appointed chaplain to sailors , and much frequenting Ratcliffe-highway and other places where sailors mostly congregate , was charged with creating an obstruction and causing a crowd in Dockstreet . On appearing to his bail he was accompanied by five little children ( one of them a black ' s ) wearing a sort of uniform , and having inscribed oh their caps , " Sailors' Orphan Impregnable . " He himself wore on a blue coat a good many decorations , and a medal . —Lineham , a policeman , found bivft preaching on Wednesday night , and perceiving that the way was blocked up by a great crowd ,

      ordered him several times to desist , but . be still persisted , and had to be taken into custody . —Prisoner : I have preached for forty years in different parts of London . Here are sailors'orphans whom I hope to edify . I served with Nelson , and obeyed him fifty years ago , and must I now be prevented from obeying Christ ?—Mr . Yardley : I do not wish to see you in that p lace ( the dock ) any longer , but if you will insist in preaching you must do it without causing any obstruction in the public streets . Prisoner -. Look at Punch ' and Judy , and the public street singers . —Mr . Yardley : All who cause obstruction must be treated alike . There can be no objection to your preaching if you choose proper places . However good your intentions you cannot cause obstructions in tne public thoroughfares . Prisoner ; I ojily returned to London the other day , but before so doing I wrote to Lord John Russell , Sir George Grey , and the

      commissioners of police , intimating my intention of visiting Hyde Park and other places . When taken a short time ago by a City policeman , at Billingsgate , the Lord Mayor told me to go . This is the third time I have been arrested now , and yet 1 never interfere with parties or politics or . —Mr . Yardley : I was about to let you go , but as you still per . sist , I shall be under the necessity of ordering you to find sureties . —After several attempts on the part of Mr . Yardley to extract a promise that the offence should not be repeated , and a good deal of evasion on the part of the prisoner , on the ground that he was bound to preach the Gospel , finding that the worthy magistrate was about to carry out his threats , the prisoner took out his pocket-book , and saying , " I will soon settle that , " made some memorandum , adding , " I must promise if you insist . "—Mr . Yardley : Then on that condition you may go . —The rev . Boatswain then left , accompanied by his proteges .

      Tbe Truck gramr . —A greengrocer and general dealer of Lower Shadwell , named Hutchinson , appeared to answer the charge of four ballast men , who complained that he refused to remunerate them for work and labour done . The case exhibited a system of great hardship , of which the ballasthearers are now very justly complaining , The defendant is one of those who engage with men who work at the ballast-heaving , and according to tbe statement of the complainants , instead of paying them cash for their labour , he paid them rotten meat , at the same time lowering their amount of wages . —Mr . Yardley asked Roche , the gaoler , if he knew the rate at which ballast-heavers ought to be paid ?—Roche . - Ho , sir ; but 1 know that these noor

      men are treated by the factors , who pay in kind-, worse than the cbalwhippers were formerly used by the publicans . —Mr . Ratoliffe , solicitor : The system is one of the most crying evils of the day . —Mr Yardley : It is much to be regretted that the Truck Act does not apply to all trades . I should like to know , Mr , Hutchinson , what you receive for the job!—Defendant : 24 s . sir . —Complainant-. He got 29 s „ sir . —Mr . Yardley : If your meat were good there would be no necessity for adopting this mode of disposing of it . —Defendant : It is good . —Complainant : Why , at one time you gave me a shoulder of mutton which was as green as a leek . I'd get better meat in the Highway for Bid , than you charged me 6 d . for . They sell as good for oats .

      The defendant called . a witness to prove that the men agreed to take provisions , and said that tbat was the only profit he had by the job .-Roche : These people never allow the men as much as the captains would pay ; and , moreover , ' they cannot go to a respectable shop . —Mr . Yardley : If 1 find that any person pays off men with bad provisions , no matter whatbargain may have been entered into , I shall not consider the debt as discharged . —Defendant : The meat is in salt for the men . —Mr . Yardley : You will have to get other customers for it , then . I order you to pay 24 s ., the amount claimed , 2 s . costs , and 3 s . other costs . —Defendant : What are the other costs ?—Mr / Yardley : Pay the sum I ordered , sir—29 s . > The parties-theu left , the decision giving general satisfaction . .

      MANSION-HOUSE . —Charge AOAWST A C * BBor-MAK . —A person who stated himself to be a clergyman of the Church of England was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having ! stolen ashiliingfrom the plate of the church of All Hallows , Barking . —Mr . George Creaton , vestry clerk of the parish of All Hallows , Barking , said : I have been desired by the churchwardens of the parish to

      W Orship-Street.—Distressing Cask.—'On S...

      charge tho prisoner with having abstracted money from the plate used on Sunday night at the lecture in our church . As I was going to Mr . Plummer , who was holding the plate at one of the doors , to say that there was no use in staying any longer , the prisoner went up to the plate , put his hand into it , and took out something . I immediately seized the prisoner ' s hand , and , upon opening it , found a shilling in it . I then took him to the vestry-room , and afterwards , by the direction of the churchwarden , to the station-house , where he was charged with the robbery . The collection was for the benefit ol the evening lecture fund . The prisoner told me that be did not take any money out of the plate , and that he had placed sixpence in it . . No money

      was taken from him . —Mr . John l'lummer , ol Tower-street , said I was holding tbe plate at the north door of the church , and I saw the prisoner movin" to the plate , and felt a pressure on the back part of nvy hand aa his fingers went into the plate . I saw a sovereign in the plate , and my suspicion was that the prisoner was attracted by the sovereign which was a new one and rather conspicuous . Mr . Creaton came behind him , and seizing his band said , " You villain , you have taken something from the plate . " The plate is a deep dish , and the fineers went into it . I can only state as to my belief , which was that he took money out . —Mr . John Silverlock , senior churchwarden of All Hallows , Barkin " , said , " I was holding a plate at the door of the

      principal entrance aUhe south side , and the prisoner , as he was passing , put his hand into my plate , and I think bo took something out . I observed a half-sovereign in my plate , but as I saw that was safe , I did not accuse him , as I did not wish to condemn unjustly . " —Mr . Creaton : Your lordship will observe , that when I took the prisoner into the vestry room upon the charge of abstracting from the plate held by Mr . Plummer , Mr . Silverlook directed me , from the belief that tho prisoner had robbed his plate , to cause him to be taken to the stationhouse . —The Lord Mayor : Well , prisoner , do you wish to make any explanation ? Who and what are you ? Prisoner : I have been a clergyman of the Church of England for thirty years . —The Lord

      Mayor : Are you in orders now ? The prisoner : I am . I had one church in Worcestershire twenty years , and I have served in Eye , in Suffolk , during the absence of . the clergyman there . I have two sons in respectable . circumstances in London , and I have letters which were found upon me , and which your lordship can read as evidence of my respectability , lam most willing and anxious to give every explanation . —The Lord Mayor : I am willing to give you every opportunity of making tbe necessary explanation . If you are innocent , your present position is , indeed , most painful . —The prisoner I had in my purse when I went to the plate held by the witness ( Mr . Plummer ) , a shilling , a sixpence , and a halfpenny , I pulled out the shilling and

      sixpence together , and I put the sixpence into the plate , keeping the shilling in my hand . At that moment auother of the "witnesses seized my band , in which my shilling was . The whole statement made is correct , with the exception of the point as to taking money out of the plato ; for instead of taking money out I put money in . I most naturally wish for the most searching investigation into this extraordinary charge . I am the father of six sons and three daughters , and I never entertained a thought of committing such an offence as that with which I am charged . —The Lord Mayor : Where do you live ? Tho prisoner : On Saturday night I slept in a coffee-house in Bishopsgate-street . —The office who apprehended the prisoner said : I took

      his purse from him , and I found a halfpenny m it , as he states . —The prisoner was brought up before Mr .

Ho then left my house and took lodgings in Church-street , at Mr . Short ' s , where he resided till he absconded in my debt . He repeatedly preached at . Hythe Church , and was not only

      esteemed , but was a very great favourite with the congregation , at the houses of . some of whom ( and amongst others that of myself ); he has been entertained .

      of that name , ' and I went to five different churches in the neighbourhood , thinking I might have made a mistake myself . He never returned to my bouse , but he wrote me a note next morning telling me tbat the omnibus in which he had been riding had broken down in Oxford-street , and that he bad been'prevented by that accident from proceeding on his journey and was confined to his room , but that in a few days he would call and settle his account .

The cab stopped at tho house of Payne , the other prisoner , and Bateman came out and carried a bundle with him

      into the shop , and placed it behind the counter , after which he asked Payne for a shilling , and paid the cabman his fare with it . I then went into the shop and asked Bateman what he had in the bundle ? He replied that he had nothing but his own wearing apparel . Payne then asked him why he had not taken them to his own lodging . I then toon the bundle from the place in which it had been deposited , and conveyed that and Bateman to the station in the cab which had been just used by him . ' I found twenty sovereigns and a sixpence in a box wrapped up in a pair of stockings , and 156 farthings in an old sock , and a Jong list of articles of dress for both sexes .

      Mr . Foxberry , inspector of tho City police : After I took tbe charge , and Bateman was looked up in tho cell , I gave tbe officers directions in ; the business . Bateman then from tho cell requested to speak with me , and he said that he would tell me where be got the things . I cautioned him in the usual terms , and he then said— "I took them from the top room in the office next to tbe Three Crowns in tbe Old Jewry . " 1 then went with Jervis , the officer , to the bouse described by Bateman , and saw there Mrs . Clarke , to whom the property belongs . We went up stairs , and Mrs . Clarke said , " Oh ! my good God , the place is broke open . " We found that a box in the room was broken open , and that the furniture was pulled about , 3 nd other symptoms

      of robbery . I found a sort of screw-driver , which corresponded with tbe marks on the door . Mrs . Clarke accompanied me to the station , and there identified all the property in the bundle . Payne afterwards identified the screw-driver as his property , and said that Bateman had been in the house yesterday morning , and had taken it with him . — Alderman Hunter then said : It is my duty tocotnmifc Bateman for trial . There is no evidence against Payne , and I discharge him . —Bateman was then committed . —Upon the representation of Jarvis , the officer , who produced several articles on Payne ' s premises , for which that prisoner could not satisfactorily account , bail was required for his appearance on a future day .

The defendant had a most excellent character given of him for . civility to his passengers , as well as for the feeling and forbearing conduct aa a driver to the horses entrusted to his care , and it was further set forth that the constable Clouting had for some

      time past been actuated by a vindictive feeling towards defendant , with whom he was constantly interfering in a most uncalled-for and unnecessary manner . —The magistrate , after listening patiently to all that had been adduced pro and con in the case , came to the conclusion that he could not do otherwise than convict , and remarked that as the defendant bad received so high a character for general propriety of conduct , ho should inflict but a small penalty . —Defendant was then fined 5 s . and costs .

Elliott to support a charge of assault , preferred on a tormer day , against Mr . or Captain Williams , a member of the Army and Navy Club , Pall-mall . —Complainant stated that on the Oaks day , as he was returning from Epsom , he was unfortunate enough to travel in a carriage , for some distance , within a stone ' s throw of a drag , iu which Williams , with several other persons , was riding . From Tooting corner to the South Lambeth turnpike Williams and his associates pelted the complainant and his friends so continuously with eggs , that on reaching the latter point the victims were almost hidden in yolk and white . At South Lambeth the offending parties

      were given into the . charge of the police , but ' the latter not being in sufficient force at the place to secure the former , the gentlemen were allowed to proceed on giving their names and addresses , Tho names and addresses given were found to be incorrect , but the whereabouts of Captain Williams was discovered by his being followed by one ofthe sufferers to the Army arid Navy Club , and a summons was taken out against him . His companions would in all probability have got scot free out of tho scrape , had it not been for an incident that occurred at South Lambeth , and which has led to the disclosure ofthe names of two others of the party . When the gentlemen were given into the custody of the police , and the latter were struggling to take

      tbem to tbe station house , Mr . Henry Peat , the sadler , in Old Bond-street , rode up , and being acquainted with the names of several of them , and also knowing Mr . Jarman personally , he undertook to furnish the latter with tbem , and on this understanding the aggressors were allowed to proceed . On the summons being called on Monday , Captain Williams was not present , and English , one of the summoniug officers , deposed tbat he bad called at the Army and Navy Club to servo Mr . Williams with the summons , and was told that he was out This he ( English ) had reason to believe was not true . It was his impression tbat the gentleman was at the club at the time , and he left the summons with the porter in the hall to give it to Mr Williams

      . —Mr . Jarman , addressing the magistrate , said he bad summoned Mr . Peat for the purpose of identifying Mr . Williams as one of the offenders , and as Mr . Peat was then present , and was well acquainted with the persons of the other delinquents , he hoped his worship would call on him to disclose thcirnamee , so that he ( Mr . Jarman ) might be enabled to institute proceedings agains them .-Mr . ftat observed that he was placed in nni / J i iu . ffard ,. dilemma in tho matter . He understood that a solicitor from the parties accused ?«• u iu 1 Mri Jarman . and had offered to pay or all the damage they had done and any expenses they might have been put to , provided his worship consented , to the case being so settled . —Mr .

      Aiuott remarked that he could not permit an outrage of so serious a public character to be Compromised in any such way , and added tbat he considered Mr . Peat bound to discloso the names of tho offending party . —Mr . Peat replied that , in defc rence to his worship ' s opinion , he should give up the names of two of the parties on the «* drag , " and these were Messrs . Henry and Thomas Dimsdalo , the sons of the banker , who lodged at'No . 10 , Bury-street , St . James ' s .- ^ Mr . Ja rman said that be had in attendance a poulterer in Newgate Market , who sold and delivered at tre house , 10 , Bury-street ,. a cask containing 800 or 1 , 000 eggs a * day or . two before the races , —The written information of Mr . Peat and Mr , . Jarman wasthen taken

      and sworn to , and Mr , Elliott granted warrants against CaptainJ Williams and both he Messrs Diinsdnle ,
