Alleged Brutal Violence Of Policemen. On...
ALLEGED BRUTAL VIOLENCE OF POLICEMEN . On Thursday afternoon Sir . H . M . Wakley held a lengthened inquiry at the Rising Sun , High-street , Marylebone , touching the death of James Geary , aged 28 , a plasterer , residing at 2 fo . 5 , Conwayconrt , who was alleged to have died from blows inflicted bv two sergeants of the police rorce . — Catherine Donoghue said she was a sister of the deceased , who was a married man , and enjoyed an excellent state of health up to the evening of the ISth of Angnst Inst . On the following morning ( Sunday ) , between twelve and one o ' clock , witness saw the deceased lying on his back on the pavement near the Angel public-house , corner of 31 arylebone-Iane and High-street , and Sergeant Bushel ! , yo . 9 D , was over him with his left hand in his neckerchief , and kneeling on the
deceased ' s chest . The deceased man called out for God ' s sake not to strangle him , and he would walk quietly if they would allow him to get up . Witness -went up and begged of the sergeant and another constable , who had hold of deceased , not to use him so cruelly . Shortlv after the deceased was dragged up from the ground , but he had not gone many yards when Sergeant Bnshell , who is a tall stout man , dashed the deceased violently against some area railings , ancd struck him over the snns and legs with his stave . Deceased did not offer the least resistance to the police , and walked quietly alone ; the sergeant and the other constable , who had hold of him , continued to strike and punch the deceased with their staves as they proceeded towards tho station-house . A crowd was collected , who cried shame on the officers , and told them not to use him so brutally , but they did not molest them in the slightest manner . Deceased was quite sober
when the police had hold of him , and on recogniiing -witness he begged of her not to interfere , as they -would serve her in the same way . Deceased was hailed out on the Sunday , and on his return home he complained of violent pains aU over his body , from the illusage he had received , and took to his bed , and he was unable to go io his work for nearly three weeks , when feeling better he resumed his employment for about ten days , -when he became so bad * that he again took to his bed . Mr . 0 'Flaherty , surgeon , attended him until his death , which took " place on the previous Thursday—The widow of the deceased corroborated the previous witness . ISr . T . O ' Flaherty , surgeon , deposed that deceased had died from pleuritis , which might have arisen from violence , or from a cold . —The inquiry , which had lasted four hours , was eventually adjourned to procure the proper identity of the two police constables .
Extensive Fihe At Socihwake.—On Thursday...
Extensive Fihe at Socihwake . —On Thursday night , shortly before ten o'clock , afire , involving a serious destruction of property , broke out in the premises belonging to Mtssrs . W . W . and It . Brooke , tallow nickers and chandlers , 1 , Soata-¦ wark-bridge-road , nearly facing the Brigade engine station . The premises occupied nearly half an acre of ground , and comprised the melting houses , the making shops , spacious stores , filled with dips and moulds of great value ; the warehouses , containing a large and miscellaneous stock ; and the storerooms for depositing casks of tallow ia the raw . Although several engines were quickly in attendance and at work , the lire extended to the flax warehouse of Mr . Ward , in Little Guildford-street , to one of Templer ' s Cottages , and to the backs of several houses in Southwark-bridge-road . The ¦ whole of the manufacturing premises and stores are levelled with the ground . Fortunately the firm ¦ wa s insured in the Phoenix and Sun fire offices .
Exteaohdisabt Case of Self-Amputation . —On Friday , Mr . W . Baker , coroner , held an inquest at the London Hospital on the body of Edward Hurry , aged fifteen , who met with his death under the following shocking circumstances : —Charles Dale , sawyer ^ employed at Rickmoth ' s steam saw mills , Charles-street , Mile-end Xew-town , said the deceased was employed as a stoker to attend to the fire of the steam-engine , which is a considerable distance from the machinery ; On Saturday , the 14 th inst ., shortly before one o'clock , witness was removing some timber from the saws which were in motion to the other end of the building . He had been absent two or three minutes when he was alarmed by a piercing shriek , and on hastening to the spot he found the deceased lying close to the
saws in an insensible state , his left arm completely cut through between the shoulder and elbow joint , and only adhering by a small piece of skin . He had him removed immediately to the hospital . The deceased had no business at that spot , and he had frequently chastised him for playing with the saws . After the accident he picked up a small piece of -wood , partly sawn through , which deceased admitted he was playing with when the action of the machinery was too strong for him , and he was pulled over it , his left arm falling across the working saw . —Mr . Mountford , house surgeon , stated that the left arm was cut through as clean as if it had been amputated scientifically . The deceased went on very well for some days when fever supervened , which caused his death on Wednesday . Verdict , " Accidental death . "
Extensive aud Destructive Fire at Bristol- . — Avery alarming and destructive fire broke out on Friday morning , at the Grove , near the floating harbour , Bristol , and notwithstanding the efforts used to subdue it , it could not be got under until tho premises occupied by Mr . Humphreys , corn merchant , Messrs . Whitwell and Allward , ship chandlers , Messrs . Smith and Downing , provision merchants , and Mr . E . Reed , sailmaker , had been completely gutted , and considerable damage done to a house in Queen-square , occupied by a person named Bayley , as a lodging and boarding house . The fire broke out at about two o ' clock , on the premises of Messrs . Whitwell and Allward , whose stock , being of a very combustible nature , caused it to burn with great fierceness and rapidity , soon wrapping the adjacent buildings in flames . The fire continued to unaoatea tor
rage with iury many hours , placing the shipping in the floating harbour , among which ¦ were many first class vessels ready for sea , in jeopardy . Indeed , had the wind been from the northward , some of them would , in all probability , have sustained damage . When the house in Queen-square caught the inmates were in bed , and many of them lad to make their escape in their night clothes . The total damage cannot be estimated at less than JEG , O 0 O . Among the property , either destroyed or greatly injured , were a number of fine paintings by the old masters , belonging to Mr . Gomersall , jun ., the comedian , who was a lodger at Mr . Bavley ' s house . Mr . Humphreys and Messrs . Smith and Downing were insured . Messrs . Whitwell and All-¦ war d partially so ; and Mr . Creed iininsured . The cause of the fire is not known .

" ° wffsetfted as the next piece , the part of h St Kg the one of all the ShakspearthelteyalBaueo s Mr . Keanis most identifiey ' SuTg bestowed on this character . the most minute attend , he has brought it toa finish which we do not find in many modern delineations . Hence , while he brings out with remarkable force all the more salient situations , such as the play-scene and the interview with Gertrude , he affords a constant ratification by tho elaborate manner in which he works out less prominent details . There is not a
passage which does not give evidence of tho most careful study , and hence there is something remarkable satisfactory in the impression left at tho end of the play . The character of Ophelia receives a new value in the hands ot Mrs . Kean , who first played it at the Haymarket . The vacancy of madness is most delicately blended with g limmerings of reason , indicated by the varied tones and glances with which she addresses the several personages around her , and tho songs are given with the nicest regard to dramatic expression . Gertude is sustained in a dignified manner by Miss Phillips . The comic
characters came out remarkable well . Mr . Harlcy , as the first gravedigger , was overflowing with sententious importance ; and the air of wondering silliness with which Mr . Meadows , as the second gravedigger , responded to his wisdom , wad admirably assumed . The traditional fopperies of Osrie are rendered with good effect by Mr . Wigan . The mise en scene is deserving of all praise . The scenery , without being so gorgeous as to distract attention from the figures in the action , is beautifully painted , and in the " best taste . The play-scene , with the tapestried decoration , is , if we mistake not , of a novel character . The theatre was crowded in every part .
The Queen's. This Theatre Has Been Newly...
THE QUEEN'S . This theatre has been newly painted and decorated during a short recess , and presents au appearance of chasteness and elegance not surpassed in any house in the metropolis ; alterations have also been made which must greatly add to the comfort of visitors , while the advance of prices will make the juvenile portion more select . The winter season commenced with a domestic drama entitled Tlie Old mi Stream . This , like most pieces produced under this management , conveys a striking moral to the industrious classes ,-warning them not to be lured from the path of virtue bv the specious promises of the " higher orders , and shows the bitter misery and wretchedness awaiting the votaries of crime . The scene between the poor and rich . villains Caleb Foxley , ( Mr . E . Green , ) and Everard St . Clair , ( Mr . Bedford , ) on whose acting , together with Mrs . C . Boyce , as
the Miller ' s Daughter , the piece niainlj depends , was most effective . A new fairy extrvaganza followed , entitled tho Valley of Diamonds or the City of the Stars . This , as expressed in the bills , is produced on a scale of splendour utterly regardless of expense ; indeed , the scenery is of the most gorgeous and brilliant description , and nothing can surpass the grandeur and effect of the last scene . The celebrated danseuse , by Madlle Celeste Stephan , from Her Majesty ' s and the Princess' Theatre , aided by the petite Serverni , added much to its attraction , and the jaunty air and swagger of Mrs . Manders , who personated the hero , elicited rapturous applause . Wo shall refrain from describing the plot of either of the pieces , but advise our play-going readers to see and judge for themselves ; in the meantime , we congratulate the manager on the improvements effected , and hope his exertions will be amply rewarded .
Royal Polytechnic Institution. Mr. Georg...
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Mr . George Barker has been engaged during the week in delivering a highly interesting and pleasing lecture at this establishment , on the Ballad Music of England . He commenced by stating he should confine himself , therefore , to a few general remarks . The cultivation of the voice had been allowed by some of the most eminent medical professors to be one of the most healthful exer . cises that could be taken ; indeed , the exercise of the voice was to the lungs what walking was to the body ; it strengthened the respiratory organs in a manner most effectual . Mr . Barker then proceeded to describe the various national styles of music , such as the gushing melody of Italy ;
the massive and grand compositions of Germany ; the light and laughter-stirring style of France ; the romantic and imasrinativo style of Spain ; while the bold , striking , and impressive ballads of England , Scotland , and Ireland , told of tho free and generous nature of her people . The lecturer , after the conclusion of his remarks , commenced to illustrate his discourse with numerous beautiful and touchihg ballads , the following being the chief : — " The Dream of Life , " " Mary JJlane , " "The Irish Emigrant's Lament , " "Patri ma cushla , " and concluded with " Shall I wasting in despair V We were happy to see that the great hall was completely crowded by a highly respectable eudience .
Mubdek, Robbery , Axd Arsox Ix Fraxce.—A...
Mubdek , Robbery , axd Arsox ix Fraxce . —A triple crime ( says the Conciliateur do VAude ) has been committed in the commune of Issel , belonging to the arrondissement of Castelnaudary-murder in order to commit robbery , and arson to destroy all proofs of the two former crimes . The presumed culprits are in the hands of justice . The following details have transpired : —In tho night of the 17 th of September a fire broke out in the commune of Issel , and destroyed three houses and a barn , notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the population to arrest the progress of the disaster . The body of Franeoise Euguin , a widow , was taken from amidst the ruins in a state of semi-calcination . It was remarked that none of the copper or iron utensils , of which the house of the widow was known to he
furnished , could be found , and a suspicion arose that they had been stolen . On tbe 20 th of September a ceremony took place at which the whole popu lation of the locality were anxious to be present ; it was the burial of M . Cabanis , notary and mayor of the commune . Eugenie Auriol , granddaughter ot Franeoise Enguin , recognised upon the head of Angelique'Fabre , " who was following . thefuneral procession , a coife which had belonged to her grandmother , and immediately proceeded to declare this fact to the adjoint , who summoned Angelique Fabre before him , and questioned her as to how she became possessed of the coiffe . She replied that she had bought it of a man named Guilhem , and that they might search her house , for she was sure
they would find nothing but what belonged to her . The adjoint , taking her at her word , proceeded with the garde champetrc and several other persons to the house of Angelique Fabre , where discovery was made of a bed with furniture complete , ten chemises , seven petticoats , three jackets , two cauldrons , a saucepan , and a multitude of other articles , which were recognised by her relations and neighbours as the property of Widow Enguin . All these objects were deposited in the keeping of the mayor . On the 21 st the Procurer of the Republic , the investigating magistrate , and the Lieutenant of the Gendarmerie repaired to Issel . _ Angelique Fabre was brought before them , and , if our information be correct , there stated that the furniture found in her house had belonged to the unfortunate widow ,
from whom they had been stolen under the following circumstances . Angelique cohabited with a man named Eastenille , living in the commune of St . Paulet . Being without furniture or linen , he had asked her if she did not know of a house where he could obtain some , and she pointed out that of the Widow Enguin , a woman of eighty-five , living by herself . It was agreed that she should be robbed and murdered , and that , after removing the goods , the house should be burnt . The plan appears to have been carried into effect . The body of the widow has been exhumed , but no positive traces indicating the use of violence could be found , owing to the calcined state to which it was reduced . Angelique Fabre was committed to the House of Detention , and on the 23 rd Bastonille was arrested , and forthwith confined in the same prison . —Times . Db . Graxge , of Geneva , who has devoted a great
part of his life to thestudy of the causes and cure of cretinism , has just published the result of his observations . It appears that both cretinism and wens proceed from the same cause , and that these disorders are particularly endemical in countries where the soil and waters are very rich in magnesia . Dr . Grange asserts that any person may get a wen , if such be his fancy , by drinking at springs highly impregnated with magnesia . He states lodurated kitchen-salt , used for culinary purposes for the space of a year , to be a certain cure for and preservative against the wen , without producing any dther infirmity . Dr . Grange recommends his government to distribute iodurated salt in those places where the goitre is most prevalent . He also shows , from statistical accounts , that wens , contrary to universal belief , are more frequent in flat than in mountainous countries .
Six hundred of the workers in Sir Elkanah Armitage ' s mill at Manchester have " struck ; " they say their employer has been paying them twentyfive per cent , less than other manufacturers , and they demand equal wages . A Fortunate Escape . —A porter of a house in the Rue St . Lazare bavins gone on the roof to clean out the gutter , lost his balance and fell over into the court . Fortunately for him , some clothes were drying on a line , across which he fell , and , his fall having been thus broken , the linen coming under him and forming a kind of bed , he escaped without the slightest injury . —Galignani's Metcnger .

Mansion-Nouse. —A Man In "Difficulties."...
MANSION-nOUSE . —A Man in "Difficulties . " —A man of rather stately deportment , who said he was a railway agent , was brought before Alderman Gibbs , charged with having walked into the premises adjoining a banking-house in Lombard-street , without having any business to transact there . — The defendant , the rapid movement of whose eyes indicated that all was not ri g ht within , had been seen looking about cautiously , in his own opinion , but in such a manner as to excite great caution in other people , and at last slipping in at a hall door which was most invitingly open . He was followed , and asked whom he wished to see , and what business he had to transact , and as his answers were
wholly beyond the comprehension of those who addressed him , he was handed over to the care of the police , and taken to the Compter , where he seemed to be very comfortable during two or three days ' abode . —Alderman Gibbs having inquired about the unfortunate man , learned that he had been during the railway mania one of the adventurers in ruinous speculations , and that his losses had in all probability touched his mind . Upon being told that the circumstances under which he was found were very suspicious , ho stared , and said he was informed by some people in the street , that somebody was waiting for him inside , so in he walked . --A waiter at a coffee-house in the neighbourhood said the defendant had walked in there sovera
times , as if ho was an old customer , and ordered dinner without having a farthing in his pockets . — Alderman Gibbs said he feared the poor fellow was the victim of railway disappointments , and delivered him to his friends , who promised to keep him out of such dishonourable difficulties . Charge of Stabbing . —A Dutch Jew named Myer Levi was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having stabbed Patrick Martin in the head with a chisel . —An old Irish dealer in Petticoat-lane goods had , it appeared , got tipsy on Sunday , and by way of a cure he went into a barber s shop to be shaved , having left his boots at tho door , under the impression , as was supposed , that he was
in his own bedroom . The complainant determined that his countryman should not lose his boots , took them to him , and as it was useless to endeavour to prevail upon him to put them on , tied them together and fastened them to his arm . This proceeding interfered with the desire some of the Jews had to have a lark with the Irish dealer , and they showed their disappointment by roughly handling the person who spoiled their fun . The prisoner , who had lately landed from the continent , was not , however , satisfied with simply giving the complainant a shove , but thought it would add to the frolic to draw a little blood , and accordingly made an effort to bore a hole with a chisel in his head . The success of the
attempt was immediate , and probably greater than was expected , for after having penetrated the skull the instrument took an oblique direction and peeled the skin off part of the nose , so that the victim looked as if a Smithfield drover had mistaken him for a strong bullock from the market . —There was nobody to say a word for the complainant , but himself and his dreadful appearance , and the policeman , while the prisoner had a host of witnesses , the first of whom was a little boy aged seven years . — Alderman Gibbs at once selected the child , and desired him to tell him what the whole business was . A more effectual mode of getting at the facts could not have been devised . —The boy told the story exactly as it had been lectured into him , so that
the complainant , not only to bis own surprise , assumed the character of a most desperate aggressor , but the prisoner became an injured man incapable of retaliation . —The evidence of the boy was supported by several men and women , from whom the alderman drew repeated assurances that the unfortunate complainant who cut such a rueful figure did not receive the slightest touch himself , except what was caused by his own fury , and that the patches and disfigurement about the head had been caused by a fall down stairs from gin a fortnight before . —Alderman Gibbs ( to the policeman ) : When you were called upon by the complainant in what
condition were these wounds ? Policeman : They were bleeding , and had no doubt been just received as he stated . —A well-dressed female , who said she was the prisoner ' s aunt , addressed the alderman . She declared that the young man was as gentle as a lamb , and that her word was better than all that had been said against him . —Alderman Gibbs Where you present ? Xo . —Alderman Gibbs : Then I can tell you that tho lamb was much more like a wolf on this occasion , and I fine him 30 s . or fourteen days in Bridewell with hard labour . The decision gave great satisfaction to all who did not belong to the party of the lamb .
Piciuxg Pockets . —William Lefevre , who appeared to be about ten years of age was brought up , charged with having attempted to pick pockets . The impudence of the prisoner was remarkable . The boy , who is of diminutive size , had been observed by a labouring man , together with two other boys , endeavouring to pick pockets , and appeared to be the most active of the little gang . The witness followed them for some time , and at last saw the prisoner dexterously slip his hand into a woman's pocket , but as he pulled it out empty the man merely gave him a slap on the side of the head , and told him to be off . " Off , " said the boy , squaring up to him , " do you cut away with you , or I'll knock in the whole front of
your head—blest if I don't . " The witness was not much astonished at the language , for he had seen tho prisoner and his companions before ; but having thought proper to pursue them further , and prevent them from going into a halfpenny steamer , the young fellow said , " Well , I see there ' s no use in talking , and I certainly will pitch into your breadbasket , old fellow , "—( laughter)—and he threw himself into position , and said he was all ri g ht in pluck . As it was easy to guess what friends a young rascal of the kind would get amongst the mob , if allowed to go on at that rate , the witness gave him into custody . —Alderman Gibbs : What have you to say , prisoner ? Prisoner : I was only playing about with other boys when the man who isn't a policeman came up and threatened us . I told him I was able to fight him , and he wouldn't have me . That ' s all . Remanded . GUILDHALL . —The Charge of Fraud against
a Policeman . —Thomas Wilkins , a constable in the D division of Metropolitan police , was brought up in the custody of Inspector Collin Grant for final examination , on the charge of defrauding the Treasurer of Middlesex of 3 s . 6 d . ; also with defrauding Elizabeth Collins of a like amount . —Alderman Sidney said that there could be no doubt remaining but that prisoner had misappropriated the sum of 3 s . 6 d ., and by so doing was guilty , under the Police Act , of a breach of his duty as a police-constable , and consequently liable to be fined accordingly . It was a very painful duty for him to have to adjudicate in such a case , particularly as his decision would certainly have the effect of blasting all his future prospects in life . However , the case was of such a nature as to require a . stvict investigation , which had been made , and the result proved that prisoner was at fault . He would therefore fine hira £ 5 , or one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction .
BOW-STREET . —A Drunken Count . —Count de Witt , late secretary to the Duke of Brunswick , was placed at the bar before Mr . Jardine , charged under the . following circumstances . The prisoner , upon being placea at the bar , violently demanded that , as * he was not Englishman enough to defend himself in a court of justice , the case should be postponed until such time as his legal adviser should be present . —Inspector Wilkinson remarked that the case required no postponement , as it was merely a charge of drunkenness and creating a disturbance . — The Prisoner : Cannot my word be taken in preference to an inspector ' s ? Mr . Jardine : I cannot see why it should . —Inspector Wilkinson then stated that , on Monday evening , the prisoner came to tm >
station-house door intoxicated , and created a great disturbance . He went out to him no less than four times , and begged of him to go away . At last he went a few paces from the door , and witness thinking he had gone home returned to his room . In a very few minutes the prisoner returned , and , bouncing through the passage , again presented himself before witness , and created a still greater disturbance than before . Ho was ultimately placed in a cell , at the door of which he knocked and kicked so violently , that it was feared he would break it . His conduct was violent in tho extreme . — The prisoner complained about an inspector daring to lock him up , and in a cell in which felons were placed . —He was fined 10 s ., which was immediately paid .
MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Conviction of an Imposioh . —A miserable-looking Italian , who professed to be deaf and dumb , and who has for many years been preying upon the benevolent portion of the public , was charged with begging in the public streets . —Colley , one of the Mendicity constables , stated that about half-past eight on Monday night he was proceeding along Oxford-street , when his attention was called to the prisoner , whom he had known for the last nine years as a notorious impostor , pretending to be deaf and dumb , and grinding ferociously at a kind of hurdy-gurdy , the tones of which were anything but musical . Witness , having seen the prisoner receive several pence , took him into custody . The constable added that two years
ago he took the prisoner before Mr . Coombe , at Olerkenwell Police Court , for a similar offence , when he promised in right good Italian to return to his native country . He did so , and purchased a farm for £ 100 , which sum he had made in this country by begging . The prisoner remained upon his farm till about nine months ago , when he returned to this country , and immediately resorted to his old way of raising the wind . Witness had heard from good authority that while the prisoner was pursuing his calling here a relative was looking after the farm in Italy . —Mr . Hardwiek said it was shameful that such persons should be admitted into the country , and he should send him to prison for a monthai s , warning to others of his class .
Mansion-Nouse. —A Man In "Difficulties."...
The . Betting-office Nuisance . —Wm .. William was charged with having paraded a large double placard before the house of Mr . John Osborn , cigar dealer , No . 9 , New'Bond-street . 'The placard was exhibited in court . ' It had upon it in largo letters , " Cautionto the Public—Captain Bell , of fto . 9 , New Bond'street , has not paid on the-Liverpool Cup . "—Mr . Oabom said Capt . Bell kept a bettinglist at his shop , which list was managed by Capt . Bell himself and a clerk . On Monday night a crowd of nearly one hundred persons assembled before his shop , threatening to destroy everything in it . They were collected by the conduct of about ten or a dozen persons who first made their appearance . The police were sent for , and the disorderly : m ^ ' „'" ft „ -Z , ' „ £ .-lS „„ ¦ VT Tt . o . iT / . r . _ T 0 BV « ^ niiorn S
persons disappeared . At night large placards were posted on the shutter of the shop similar to the one carried by the defendant . The defendant came with the placards now in his possession , and by walking backwards and forwards in front ot the shop caused a crowd to assemble . Complainant sent for a constable and gave him into custody . The complainant here entered into a statement of the Liverpool Cup betting of Capt . Bell , asserting that all the bets had been paid except one of twenty to one , laid twice , to Mr . Dawson , of tbe Yorkshire Grey , who , however , had received £ 22 on account , and would have received the whole of his bet , had he not been the means of preventing Capt . Bell from receiving a bet of £ 25 , which he had won from a perin Old Broadstreet wished
son named Haspall , - . He to know whether tho defendant was at liberty to walk about with tho placards now in court . —Mr . Hardwiek said it was quite clear the defendant could not be permitted to walk about the streets with large placards like those he carried , for even supposing the words on them had no significance , the placards would of themselves cause a nuisance and an obstruction . But when the language on the placards was of a description to create a mob , and to lead to a breach of the peace , it was impossible to permit such proceedings in the public street . With respect to betting offices , he considered they were a great public nuisance . After a suitable reprimand and caution the defendant was discharged . Extradition of Foreigners from France . —
Alexander Minginona , a Pole , in tho uniform of a French soldier , was brought to this court , charged with having begged at various shops in the Haymarket . After a short conversation in French with the defendant , Mr . Hardwiek directed an officer to make a communication to the Secretary of the Polish Refugee Society . —The Secretary came to the court , and had a conversation with the defendant . The secretary then ( addressing Mr . Hardwiek ) said that the defendant was a stranger to him and the Polish Society . From the defendant he had gleaned some particulars of his history , and an explanation of the causes that had brought him to England . The defendant had fought against Russia in 1834 , and for this he had been exiled . He went to France ,
entered the service , and was sent to Algeria . In that colony he had spent the best years of his life , and when he returned to France the revolution occurred , and a republic had been established . The French government had come to the resolution to expel foreigners from the country . Accordingly he was peremptorily required to quit the country of his adoption , and for which he had fought so many years . A free pass and a free passage were provided for him , and he was landed on the shores of England without a sixpence . The secretary said he could corroborate one portion of the defendant ' s story as far as the extradition of Poles from France was concerned . Within a very few months he could prove that two hundred destitute Poles had been driven from France by the French republic , and
had been landed penniless on the shores of England . It was monstrous such a system should be permitted He believed the fact had been communicated to Lord Palmerston , but he was not aware whether any steps had been taken to cheek the evil . —Mr . Hardwiek concurred in condemning a proceeding that had the effect of driving these poor foreigners from a country on which they had some claim to a country on which they had no claim whatever . — The secretary said the public grant for the relief of the distressed Poles had ceased , the English nation having naturally become tired of giving alms to the refugees . There was , however , £ 1 , 200 subscribed privately for the relief of the Poles , and out of this fund a passage to America would be furnished to the defendant . —Mr . Hardwiek gave 5 s . for the temporary relief of the defendant .
WORSHIP-STREET . —An Impudent Thief . — John Murphy , a pianoforte key-maker , a man of very respectable appearance and connections , was charged with stealing a gold watch , a silver ditto , and a large quantity of plate , the property of Mr . S . Dixon , press-maker , No . 12 , Great Charles-street , Iloxton , under the following circumstances , on the 28 th of May , 1811 . —Mary Anne Mackrell stated , that on the 2 Sth of May she was in the service of Mr . Dixon . It was on a Sunday , about half-past seven o ' clock , when the family were at church that tho prisoner called . He gave a double knock at tho door , which was answered by witness , who was the only person in the house . Witness found the prisoner at the door , in company with another man .
He had a carpet bag iriihia hand . When witness opened tho door the prisoner gave the man a piece of paper , and directed him to go back and pay for his luggage . He then inquired of witness if Mrs . Dixon was at home ? She replied that she was not , He next asked how long the family would be away . She stated about half-an-hour . He said that he would wait , and ho walked into the parlour , observing that he wished . he had been in time to have taken tea with the family . She left him in the parlour for a few minutes , when he asked for a glass of water , after which he stated that he wanted to wash his hands . She showed him to her mistress ' s room for that purpose , where she left him . In a short time he came down , when he called her up from the
kitchen and inquired what church the family had gone to . She informed him , upon which he said he would go and meet them , but would first take a glass of ale . If ho did not meet them he would return . He then went away , leaving his carpet bag , on which was the name of Jarvis , When her master came home she told him that Mr . Jarvis had called upon him . —Mr . Dixon said that the prisoner was unknown to him . On his return home he missed tho gold and silver watches , with the other articles . He examined the carpet bag , in which were some hay , a brick , and a gown . —Policeman Mason , 100 S , produced a gold watch , which he found in the possession of the prisoner ' s sister , who lives in Augusta-square , Regent ' s-park . ( Mr . Dixon
identified the watch . ) He had known the prisoner many years . —Policeman ISO said he apprehended the prisoner the previous evening , near his lodgings in Amwell-street . Witness told him he was charged with stealing a watch . He replied what watch . Ho was identified at Hoxton-street station house , being at the time with four other persons . Jumping on to a Railway Train . —George Hall , a person connected with sporting affairs , was charged before Mr . Arnold with having attempted to jump into a railway carriage attached to a train , while it . was in motion , by which he was liable to a penalty of 40 s . —It appeared from the evidence that about six o'clock on Monday morning , just as the down train to Newmarket , by the Eastern Counties
Railway was starting from Shoreditch station , the defendant arrived on the platform , stating that he wanted to go by the train . It had started at the time , when he was informed by Mr . Gardner , the inspector , that he must stop . He observed that it would be a loss to him of £ 100 if he did not go down by that train . He then gave a leap into a third class carriage , just as the train had reached the turn-table . The defendant was in the most imminent , danger . He was balancing on the door , and bythe least jerk he would have been thrown off . Mr . Gardner called upon the driver of the engine to stop the train , which was promptly done , upon which the defendant was given into custody . — The , . def 9 ndant was fined in the mitigated penalty of 10 s . < V
CLERKENWELL . '— Assault on Jenny Lind . — John Newell , an athletic Irish labourer , was placed at the bar before Mr . Combe , charged with having violently assaulted Jenny Lind ( not the Swedish Nightingale . )—It appeared from the evidence oftho prosecutrix that on Monday night , at a quarter past eleven o ' clock , she was walking in Golden-lane , St . Luke's , when the prisoner followed her , and requested her to accompany him . She refused , when he knocked her down , and while she was on the ground he swore and kicked her about the head and body in a violent manner , and injured her severely . She exhibited severe injuries , and her head was . covered with adhesive plaster , —Mr . Combe : Your name is Jenny Lind?—Witness
( affecting great modesty ) : It is , your worship . —Mr . Combe : Pray , what are you ?—Witness ( looking down ) : I am married , your worship . —Mr . Combe Were you sober , Jenny ?—Yes , as sober as a judge . I was never drunk in all my life . —The fact was that Jenny was not perfectly sober when she entered the witness-box , and her general appearance was most dissipated . —Sergeant Standen , 11 G , said , when Jenny was at the station-house , he , witness , called on her husband , who said he had been at home all nignt waiting for his " beloved " Jenny , who did not return . He ( witness ) told him she had been making a charge at the station-house . Her husband said , "Ah ; I suppose she has been out getting drunk as usual . " —Tho prisoner , in his
defence , said he had taken a " dhrap , " and on going towards his home he was accosted by the prosecutrix , and wishing to have nothing to say to her he pushed her off , and she fell against the kerbstone and cut her head . —Mr . Combe fined him 20 s ., or fourteen days' imprisonment . LAMBETH . —Attempted Murder . —Ann Bird , the wife of a coffee-shop keeper , in the Lower Marsh , Lambeth , was further examined before Mr . Elliot , on a charge of attempting to strangle her husband . From the statement of Mr . Games who attended on behalf of the husband and the testimony of the witnesses , it appeared that owing to the dissipated conduct of the prisoner ' her Jiusband was compelled to turn her out of his house , oa an allowance of 3 s . a week , This

sum the husbandpaid her until latterly , and until information had reached him of various acts ^ of adultery on her part , such as would exonerate him from -all legal responsibility for her support . Having been refused her allowance , the prisoner made application to the parish of Lambeth for a maintenance , when the beadle took her home to the house of her husband .: The husband denied his right to be called on to support such a woman , out the beadle left her in the house , and having availed herself of an opportunity of her husband being aloneshe with great dexterity slipped a handker-0 , ir ^ fVo ' tinaW « nJ .

, chief round his throat , and drew and tied it so tightly that , had assistance been delayed but a moment or two longer , no human skill could have restored him to animation , As it was , it was with the utmost difficulty that the medical man called in restored him to consciousness , and as a . proof of the narrowness of his escape he still remains in an exceedingly weak and feeble state . The prisoner had been remanded , in order to have the testimony of tho medical gentleman and other witnesses taken preparatory to her committal for trial , but one or two of those witnesses being still absent the prisoner was again remanded .
Assault on the Police . —James Cannon , a chimney-sweep , a powerful built fellow , was charged with violently assaulting no less than five different policemen , while the latter were endeavouring to secure him . The prisoner is one of the most desperate ruffians that the whole metropolis could produce ; in proof of which it need only bo stated that the present is the eighteenth time that he has been brought to this court for outrages of tho most ruffianly description , and oh the last occasion he was sent for trial , and sentenced to one year ' s imprisonment . He has
maimed two or three policemen for life , and on the present occasion he assaulted no less than five of them in a most ruffianly manner , his chief aim appearing to be to kick them in a delicate part of their person , where the slightest injury might be attended with the most serious results . The prisoner , when asked what he had to say to the . charge against him , in a gruff and surly voice replied , "I was drunk , and don ' t recollect anything about it . " He was sentenced to five months' imprisonment ; that is , one mouth for each assault .
SOUTHWARK . —Assaulting a Lecturer . —Two young men , named Wainwright and Butler , were charged with assaulting William Townsend , at a meeting held in the Temperance Hall , Fair-street , Bermondsey . —The complainant stated that while engaged in delivering a lecture on the " Social , Moral , Political , and Religious Condition of the Working Classes , " at the above hall , several persons entered , and amongst them the defendants , who , it was evident , had come there for no other purpose than that of exciting a disturbance . They ( the defendants ) made discordant noises , and endeavoured to drown his voice , and soon after a quantity of red ochre was thrown from the spot where the defendants stood over complainant , whose
person was literally covered with the substance , but whether it was done by them or their associates , he could not describe . At all events , the defendants were conspicuous in the transactions of the evening , and one of them ( Wainwright ) , subsequent to the termination of the lecture , and when complainant was proceeding home in a cab , flung a large paper bag of flour into the vehicle , and not only covered him with it , but also some of his friends , who were with him at the time . —The defendants denied that they took any part in thy transactions of the evening ; but the magistrate decided otherwise , and inflicted a fine of 5 s . on Wainwright , and adjudged him to enter into his recognisances to keep the peace . The other defendant was also bound in his own recognisances .
Cowardly Assault . —J . Williams , who described himself as a wool-broker , was charged with committing a violent assault on Mr . John Northage , under the following circumstances : —The complainant , an aged man , who exhibited injuries of a severe nature about the face , stated that he had recently come to London on business connected with the preservation of life from shipwreck , and having dined with some of the patrons of his invention , he admitted having exceeded the bounds of moderation on the occasion . When he left the tavern where they dined , and got out into the fresh air , the wine he had drunk operated still more powerfully upon him , and the result was he was taken to the station-house at the rear of this court . He , however , had not been long
locked up when the defendant , a tall athletic man , made an attack upon him without the' slightest provocation , knocked him down , and afterwards jumped upon his breast , and injured him so severely , that he has been spitting bleod ever since . He called out for help under the supposition that his assailant wanted to murder him , and he really belieyed that it was his intention to put an end to his existence if assistance had not been rendered . —It was here explained that the defendant had been taken into custody in High-street for attacking another man in the street , whom he knocked down twice , and , as
in the former case , ho had received no provocation to justify such outrageous conduct . —The defendant asserted that he was first assaulted in the cell bv tho complainant , and admitted having retaliated upon him on that account . —This assertion , however , was contradicted by a man who was locked np in the same cell . —Mr . A'Beokettsaid the defendant had disgraced himself by such an unprovoked attack upon a man like the complainant , who did not possess half his strength , and who was so much his senior in point of years . The magistrate then inflicted two . penalties of £ 3 each on the defendant , and in default of payment committed him for three
months * , HAMMERSMITH . —Caution- to Omnibus Coxductors . —George Withers , conductor of one of Messrs . Johnson ' s Walham Green omnibuses , No . 7 , 152 , badge No . 390 , was summoned before Mr . Bead on , for having used abusive language and behaviour towards Mr . Edmund Halswell , a county magistrate , residing at Old Brompton . —Mr . Martin , solicitor , appeared for the defendant . —Mr . Halswell stated that on the afternoon of Sunday , the loth ult ., he got into the omnibus of which the defendant was the conductor , between four and five o ' clock , in the Old Bromptonroad , and on reaching the Bell and Horns the omnibus pulled up , and stopped for about four or five minutes . There were at that time in the omnibus , besides witness , some ladies and a gentleman . Witness put down one of the windows on the off side , and asked the
defendant , who was standing on the pavement by the horses , what they were staying for ? Defendant , with a grin , said ne could tell him if he choosed . He repeated the question a second and third time , when the defendant said , " Well , if you will know it , the coachman has been to the urinal ; now you ' ve got it . " The ladies were all shocked . The driver then got on the box , and drove on towards town . In Piccadilly the driver commenced racing witha Chelsea omnibus up the hill as hard as he could , and the defendant put his head in at the door window , and said to witness , " Will that pace suit you ? " And on reaching Charing-cross , where witness got out , the defendant hallooed after him just the same as if he was a person who had committed some offence , —Mr . Gregory Wordsworth Turner confirmed this evidence . —Mr . Beadon imposed a fine of twenty shillings , and two shillings costs , or fourteen days' imprisonment . The fine and costs were paid .
WANDSWORTH , —Infanticide . —Ellen Middlechip , IS , a daughter of a laundress , living at 34 , Union-street , Union-road , Clapham , was Drought down from Horsemonger-lane Gaol , and placeoV on a chair in front of the dock , in consequence of her extreme weakness , and charged before Mr . Beadon with being suspected of having caused the death of her newly-born male child , by immersion in night soil . The prisoner was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court , but will be brought up again to have the depositions completed against her . She fainted as she was being removed to the coll ,
Attack On The King's Bench Prison During...
Attack on the King ' s Bench Prison during the Riots of London . —At the gate of the prison two sentinels were placed . One of these was a finebuilt young man , full six feet hi gh ; he had been servant to my father . On the day Allen was shot , or a day or two after , he came to my father for protection ; my father , having a high opinion of his veracity and moral goodness , took him in and sheltered him until quiet was restored . His name was M'Phin , or some such name ; but as he was always called " Mac" by us , I do not remember his name perfectly . He stated that he and his fellowsoldier , while standing as sentries at the prison , were attacked by an uproarious mob , and were assailed with stones and brickbats : that his
companion called loudly to the mob , and said , " I will not fire until I see and mark a man that throws at us , and then he shall die ; I don't want to kill the innocent , or any one , but he that flings at us shall surely die . " Young Allen threw a brick-bat , and ran off ; but Mao said his fellow-soldier had seen it , and marked him . The crowd gave way ; off went Allen , and the soldier after him . Young Allen ran on , the soldier pursuing him , till he entered his father ' s premises , who was a cowkeeper , and there the soldier shot him . Popular fury turned upon poor Mao ; and so completely was he thought to be the " murderer" of young Allen , that £ 500 was
offered by the mob for his discovery . But my good father was faithful to honest Mac , and he lay secure in one of our upper rooms until the excitement was over . Allen s funeral was attended by myriads , and a monument was erected to his memory ( which yet remains , I believe , in Newington-cnurchyard speaking lies m the face of the sun . If iftfitt portant enough , it deserves erasure as much as the SX "P ° P London ' s monument . As soon as the public blood was cool , « Mac" surrendered himself , was tried at the Old Bailey , and acquitted . —JSotesand Queries . ¦ Th * .
