      The " Disordkely Hotjsb" Nuisance . —Ou Monday last , a young girl , who gave her name Elizabeth Bird , bnt whose real name was said to be JBurdctt , TCa * charged before the magistrates at the Court House , by-one of the nightly watch , with disorderly conduct in the street , at aa early hour on Sunday morning . Her protectress , a Mary Greenwood , the keeper of a brothel in Bridge-street , was also placed at the bar , on a charge of having attempted to rescue the " yonng lady" from the hands of the watchman Elizabeth ' s conduct , as described by the watchman and other persons , was disgusting in the extreme ; and several respectable parties came forward to prefer complaints against Greenwood , for keeping

      a notoriously disorderly honse of the very worst description , where it was proved upwards of a dozen young lads , the eldest not more than sixteen years of age , had been frequently known to he congregated at nntimely hours of the night . The magistrates , Mr . Grace and Mr . Lupton , expressed their determination to put a stop to this , if possible ; and , after ordering an indictment to be preferred at the next sessions , they sent Miss Bird to Wakefield for a month , as a lewd and disorderly character , and ordered Greenwood to enter jtto recf'gnizmces with two respectable householders , in £ 20 each , to keep the peace for three months . In default of this , she was committed for thas time .

      Steaxtsg "Prim . —On Monday last , two young lads named Wi . Howgite , alias Joseph Gafchouse , and John Furness , were brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having sto'en a piece of printed calico- A policeman met the prisoners in Swinegate , on Saturday , one of whom had the piece of print under his arm . On being questioned he said his father had bought it to make dresses for his mother and sister j but failing to give satisfactory replies to other questions , and being a known thief , he was taken into custody , his companion being permitted at that time to go . He was , however , subsequently , taken on another charge — that of pocket picking—and they were placed at the bar together ; xhe print was identified by a shopman of Sir . Smith , draper , Brigeate , as his master ' s prov&Tiy , aad which had been stolen from within thai gentleman's shop door , on Thursday or Friday . They were both committed for trial , Howgate has been previously convicted .

      Paying dear fob a •' Deck . "—On Monday last , a man nanaed Win . Jackson , was brought up at the Court Honse , on a charge of havipg kicked over a stall inTicar-lane , on Saturday ni ^ ht , by which the whole stock-in-trade of Mrs . Garbutt , an extensive dealer in those savoury morsels entitled " half-penny ducks , " had been sent rolling in the kennel . It would seem that Jackson , about eleven o ' clock on the night in question , had , after drinking pretty freely , fallen hungry , and visited the complainant ' s stall to get a relish ; he gave her a penny for his dunk , and when he had eaten it , declared that she had not ± ? iven him bis change . This she denied , and told him to ltd in his pockets , when , although he said he had cot a halfpenny , one was found there . He then got vtsed , and without more ado sent hi 3 foot amongst . tbe ducks , and away thty flew , scattering the gra ^ y in all directions . The woman rained her loss-at 3 s . Qi ., which sum he was ordered to pay .

      Boxing . — On Tuesday last , a man named Thos . Archer , residing at New Road End , was brought before the Magistrates at the Curt Hou ^ e , on a warrant charging him with having been a principal in a priz 3 fi ^ t , which took place on the 28-h of June , in a field belonging to Mr . Atkinson , at . Spenlane , by which damage to some a mount was committed . The name of the other manis Riley , but he has get cat of the way . The damage , as mada cu : by the witnesses , amoncied to the sum of 1 : 2 ^ . one half of which , with the costs , he was ordered to f-av ; bfi-Ides in addition enuring into recogrn-Ziuceswith two sureties in £ 10 each , to keep tie peace for twtlre mouths . " A little B > iEF AuxHOKiTT . "—Oa Tuesday last , aper ^ ou cioving a respectable = phere of Hie , appeared In the dock at the Couit IliiUse , the charge a ^ vlns i him , as entered on the police sheet , beirt ; a-j assault on a watchman . When the cape was

      called on , tno accused party presented himself before the ber . eh with a pair of the en j-t awful-looking black eyes if is possible to imasrhie . The mogi-trates appeared siruck whir-u they bchc ] j t ' ac pliah ; he was in , acd more so when his accuser , a watchmz ^ , r . ajred David Sell , did not even present the appearance of a mark . Bell .-wore quite cool . y that he found the prisoner ia company with a woman in G . orge-s : re ? t , at four o ' clock in 'die morning ; th ..-y were rnaking ' a noise , and be desired iheai to desist , upon wh : ch . he was struck by the prisoner in the iace . He then tock him into custody , whoa he bccaavi very violt-nt , and thr-. ^ w himstii ' on the grminvl , cec ' arine he rrt > a ; d not go io prison .

The magistrate ; , after consulting together , fiaed the prisoner twen ; y ,--hi ] : i : jgs a ;> a co .-ls , iatlaaiirg that th- -y sho ; 2 a ia-. e c ., cd Lira £ o , tut t . vy tiotuht the watchman had esctced . d his duy by striking him in the manner

      he had uone . Tne fine was paid , and at the > iosu of I the bBsiiic ^ s of the day , ilr . Lupion , a--dresaint ' ' the watchman , told h : m that he . had evidt-mlygrcaily ; exceeded his duty ; and a watchman was never : juitiaed in using greater severity than was necessary i for his own safety , which it was quite evident hart been done in this case . If a proper statemect of the j case was made to the Watch Committee , it would j probably Lead to his dismissal . We hope , for the endjj or the " force" that a statement of the ca ^ e I will be laid before the Watch Committee , and that j such a puDishment will be awarded to the brute as \ he richly deserves . He ia evidently not fit to bs I entrusted with the powers which his present situa-I tion confer ? , and the sooner he is deprived of the i means of doing mischief the better . We thin \ the ' magistrates ought to have made a representation of the circumstances to the Watch Committee .
