Mesring Ix The Tower Hamlets. A Public M...
_MESriNG IX THE TOWER HAMLETS . A public meeting of the Chartists of the Tower Hamlets was held on Sunday evening , at the Woodman , White-street , Hare-street , Betbnal-green , to hear a lecture from Ernest Jones , The spacious room was crowded to excess . . Before the proceedings commenced the landlord announced that he had been in communication with the police authorities , who , hearing that a riotous meeting was to take place at his house , had informed him tbat policemen would be in attendance , but in attending that and all future meetings , they would come in their uniform , and not disguised . Shortly after eight o ' clock Mr . J . Shaw was called to the chair and briefly introduced Ernest Jones to the meeting .
Erse- ; t Joses , who was greeted with great applause _, commenced bv stating that bis subject was the " P _^ st , Present , and Future . " It was a wide field , but he should confine his attention to that portion of it which related to democracy . For some vears past the condition of the working _classes of this country had been steadily _deteriorating with a few fluctuations of prosperity . It was the same in all other countries similarly _bituated to Great Britiin . Montesquieu , the celebrated French writer truly said— " That nations which base their
_Tirosperitv on commerce rise rapidly , ana as rapidly fall , Tor while extending their prosperity abroad they were undermining it at home . " Such nations m > ht probably Sourish until they met with competition from abroad . Tkey might even then continue to flourish , if by possessing superior machinery tbey were enabled tob _. mish foreign competition ; but the possession of superior machinery was only an ephemeral advantage , one that was impossible to be lasting ; other nations would speedily avail themselves of it . We found that this was
now tbe case relative to England ; other nations were even surpassing ns ; two steam _vessels were hems- buUt in America for a firm at Newcastle , and several for Hamburg and other places . In Saxony 24 , 000 looms were employed in making what was termed mock goods , whilst oniy 6 , 000 looms were employed here upon the g enuine ones , and none but superior judges could tell tbe difference , whilst the price was greatly lower . In the corabmakers , and other trades , the result was the same . A barrel balk of combs could be sent herefrom America for less freight than they could from the Tweed to tbe Thames . When things arrived at this stage theonly way tbe homeraanufacturercould meet this competition was by reducing the wage 3 of his labourers . Still
all might so well if food was reducea in proportion . _ Jow food could only be procured either from the soil at home , or by exchange from abroad . They found tl at _otber nations would not send them food in exchange lor manufactured goods , as they were theieby injuring themselves , but only in exchange for gold . Still prosperity might continue if they procured cheap food from the soil at home ; but manufacturers finding they could not realise the amonnt of profit they did prior , to making their profits equal tj then * previous gains , employed more hands to make more goods , and thus withdraw the bands from the agricultural districts , and _presented the growth of a sufficiency of cheap food ; they produced the natural result of increased poor
rates , misery , and destitution . They were told that _iats , clothes , & c ., as well as food , being cheaper , ibe working man must be better off than in prior times . But it was not so . Cobden estimated that food had fallen thirty per cent , within late years , "but facts proved that tbe wages of labour had fallen sixty per cent , within the same period . It was not the amount of work that was done which was a criterion to guide tbem , but the price they got for that work . "When trade was brisk they were worked to death , and when trade was dull tbey were starved to death . They were told that the wealth of the country was increased , that our income had risen from 120 millions yearly to double tbat amonnt ; he acknowledged tbat , and
it had got into a few bauds , and the misery of the many bad increased . In 1807 the wages of tbe agricultural labourer was 15 s . per week , with £ 310 s . for six weeks' work in harvest time , ten bushels of malt , and other privileges ; now the _average of wages in England and Wales was Ss . per Week , witb , on an average , thirty-six mile 3 per week to walk to and fro to their employment-, and no harvest money , malt , & c . In 1797 the average wages of the manufacturing operative was 19 s . per week ; now the average in Scotland , where it was higher than in England , did not exceed Ss . per week . Mr . Jones then showed tbat during tbe
same period , as wages bad f . illen crime had . increased . * We had 70 , 000 criminals to provide for every year ; whilst in France , prior to tbe revolution , there were only 7 , 000 committals , and since then it bad sunk to 5 , 000 ; and to see the full force of tbe contrast they must remember that France lad a population of thirty-two millions , whilst tbe population of England and Wales was only sixteen millions . Truly poverty was tbe mother of crime . Mr . Jones then showed , from the tables ofthe celebrated Dr . Guy , that the average age of the working classes at death , as compared with others , was as follows : —
Gently . Tradesmen . Operative . Years . Years . Years . Leeds _ _. 27 19 Bolton . 7 27 18 Bradford . 34 23 18 Manchester ... 3 S 20 ......... 17 Liverpool 35 22 15 In London the average age of the operative was seventeen j ears . It mi g ht" appear strange to some , seeing around him many men forty or fifty years , that the average was so low , but " tbey must take into account tbe great numbers . tbat die in their infancy . With regard to the causes of death among tbe working classes , one out of every _thrce-and-aialf who attained the age of fifteen years died of consumption . Mr . Jones then went into the statistics brought by Mr . Slaney before the house ,
relative to the cost of hospitals , prisons , & c . He then showed tbat tbe superiority of mortality in France arose from tbe greater sub-division of land . In France they had eleven millions of small farmers , and twenty million persons interested in agriculture ; whilst in this country we had only 700 , 000 employed npon the land . He then demonstrated that if the land of this country , reckoning it at sixty millions of acres , capable of excellent cultivation , was divided among the people , it would g ive eleven acres to each family , and he was well convinced that two or three acres were quite sufficient to maintain a family in comfort . He did not advocate an equal division of land , he was only showing tbem that there was sufficient to maintain our present population , and leave a large margin for _increase . He wrs in favour of the land bein _? made
national property . Mr . Jones then dwelt on the various schemes propounded by government , and also by the working classes , to remedy our social evils , laying it down as his opinion tbat all were useless , or at best but of minor importance , compared with the possession of political power . Mr . Jones then stated that tbe report of the Manchester meeting in the Star was false , and denounced Hie leading article . A resolution similar to that adopted by the Delegate Council , with the addition appended of a vote of confidence in the Executive , was carried . Several members of the Executive were present . After a collection bad been made on behalf of the funds , Mr . Thornton Hunt was nominated as a Candidate for the Executive .

Great People Who Died Last Year.— Louis ...
THE FATAL FIRE IN ST . MARTIN' S-LANE . ( Concluded from our seventh page . ) Mr . Bedford , the coroner , held an inquest at halfpast two o clock on Thursday afternoon , at St . Martin ' s Workhouse , on the bodies of Ruth Lowe , Cornelius Caunt , and Martha Caunt , who were destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning in the Coach and Horses public-house , St . Martin s-lane , kept bv Benjamin Caunt , the ex-champion of _England . " ( The account of this fire will be found in our seventh page . ) Tho jury having been sworn , proceeded to view tbe bodies , which presented a most appalling- spectacle—the limbs mangled and disfigured , the entrails protruding , and their whole frames presented a blackened and frightful aspect .
Mrs . Caunt was not examined , but Susannah Thorpe , the principal witness , said , I live at 5 , Kensington Park Road , Notting Hill . I went to Mr . _Caunt's in the afternoon of Tuesday . I am a relation of Mrs . Caunt ' s . I was there when an alarm was given shortly after two o ' clock in tbe morning . Mrs . Caunt and myself were in the bar when the clock struck two , and we went to bed shortly after . The three deceased persons went to bed some hours before . They all slept in one of the attics . I saw tbem when tbey were going to bed . The servant was sober and apparently well . Mr . Caunt was not at home , and I slept witb Mrs . Caunt . When we had got into bed the man servant gave the alarm . We had not put
out the light . Mrs . Caunt had not got into bed , Out I had . The barman came and alarmed us . Mrs . Caunt immediately ran down stairs . We saw fire in the middle room . We lay in the front room on tbe second floor , immediately under the others . The deceased were in the room above us . We saw smoke and fire in the middle room on the floor in which we slept . I don ' t know if there was a fire in the room where the deceased lay . I did not sec the deceased taken out . The barman had gone to bed . There were no other persons occupying the attics that night . I suppose the fire broke out iu the middle
room on the second floor . A servant and the baby were in an adjoining room , there was no fire in either of these two rooms . I cannot account how the fire originated . The barman slept in one of the ' aides . There are three rooms on each floor . The barman went into the room where the girl and the baby were sleeping . I don't know much about the house or its arrangements . Mrs . Caunt and myself ran down to g ive the alarm . We were very much frightened . — Several witnesses were examined , after which the jury returned a verdict— " That the deceased had come by their dvatn . from fire , but that there was no evidence as to how the fire originated . " Cornelius Caunt was about six , and his sister about eight .

A surgeon was immediately in attendance , and discovered that a shot had entered the right breast , leaving an orifice the size of a shilling . Up to the present time all efforts to ascertain whence the shot came , or by whom it was fired , bave been fruitless . The Dock Company propose to offer a reward for the discovery of the perpetrator of the fatal deed .
At the Thames Police-office on Friday , William East was charged with causing the death of Robert Amlett , a labourer in the Regent ' s Canal Docks . — Potter , 2121 £ , deposed tbat on the previous night he proceeded , on information , to prisoner ' s lodgings , at 39 , London-street , and found him in bed . He took him into custody npon suspicion , whereupon he confessed tbat he had been firing with a gun at a jug placed on a post , in a yard in the rear of the house .

_...,. „._ - Fatal Sewer Accident. On Fr...
FATAL SEWER ACCIDENT . On Friday afternoon , at three o ' clock , an accident occurred in a new sewer which is in process of formation in Lower-road , Islington , by which two lives were lost . It appears that the Commissioners of Sewers were forming a branch sewer from Church-street to Cross-street . Mr . Johnson , the contractor , had pushed forward the sewer underneath _, the New River , and down the Lower-road , Islington , and great care is said to have been taken both by the contractors and the offices of tbe commission to prevent any accident taking place from the proximity of the two cuttings . Mr . Cox , the landlord of tbe King ' s Head public-house , being desirous to open a drain , trom his premises into the new sewer , some days ago had a shaft sunk in his
cellar , and a heading driven forward from close up to the New River tunnel . There the water began to oo z e through and flooded the cellar , whicb , of course , made him still more desirous to have the drain completed into the sewer , The leave of the commissioners , however , is requisite for this , and we hear accordingly that Mr . Cox applied for this permission only on Friday morning to have his drain into the sewer finished . His application was negatived , we were told , in the most positive manner , but , notwithstanding this , Mr . Cox is said to have employed a man to do what he required . This man , it is stated , commenced to drive a heading from the sewer under the New River to meet the drain on the other side ; but , instead of beginning at the bottom of the sewer , he did so a great way up , and the danger o this was increased as he proceeded , by inattention to the levels of his work . He had penetrated seven feet
inwards , when be used a boring instrument called ' a searcher , " to ascertain where he was going . The searcher penetrated the tunnel of the New River , and immediately tbe water , rushing through the heading , filled the sewer like a tide . There were six men in it at the time ; two got np the shaft with ease , but two more made a very narrow escape , being swept off their legs by the force of the current . A labourer named George Ellis , and a bricklayer , named William Bone , were carried away and drowned . The body of Ellis was recovered at the mouth of that branch of sewers near London-bridge . The body of Bone has not yet been found , but it is believed that it has been swept into the Thames , and search is being made for it there accordingly . Such appears to be tbe account of this melancholy accident , but it is impossible to vouch for the strict accuracy of statements collected hurriedly , and without any opportunity for proper authentication .
The Government Ahd The Window Tax .— It ...
The Government ahd the Window Tax . — It is now understood that the government have decided upon the surrender of the window tax , and the substitution of a moderate house tax . There is reason to hope that the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer will have so considerable a surplus at the end ofthe financial year that he can easily afford a million or twelve hundred thousand ior this long-desired object . By the substitution of a house tax calculated t * raise about £ 600 , 000 , for the window tax , raising about £ 1 , 800 , 000 , the sacrifice of revenue will not exceed £ 1 , 200 , 000 . Such a tax will in the first instance fall much lighter than the present window
tax , and will not interfere with the construction of our dwellings . —Daily News . Two Fires . —On Thursday morning the premises of Mr . J . Wilshire 37 , Colt-street , _Liraehouse , aught fire from some unknown cause , and before the engines could subdue the flames , the furniture and a considerable portion of the stock were destroyed . A second fire broke out ; at 19 , Moorlane , Cripplegate , on the premises occupied by Mr . Bryant , a pork butcher , and was caused by the explosion of gas which had escaped from a faulty pipe . The shop was set on fire , and the flames were ultimately extinguished by engines . The amount of damage is not ascertained .
The Fatal Accident ok the . Eastern Counties Railwat . —Mr . C . C . Lewis , the coroner for the southern division of Essex , held an inquiry on Thursday , at the New Inn , Ingatestone , respecting the death of James Wilson , one of the new engine drivers in the service of the company , who was killed by being crushed between his own engine and a passenger train . The particulars will be found in our sixth page . After hearing the evidence , the jury announced that they were of opinion that tbe stoker ofthe goods engine , was much to be blamed for moving his engine before he had the proper signals to come on , and . not seeing when he did so that the points were clear . They , therefore returned a verdict of " Manslaughter " against Henry Hampshire , and the coroner made out the usual documents for his trial at the ensuing assizes at Chelmsford .
Fatah Boat Accident at Dbvonpokt . —On Wednesday , aa two watermen , named Yeo , were engaged in taking Lieut . Saumerez , R . N ., from Mutton Cove to her Majesty ' s steam vessel Volcano , in the Sound , and when passing over the Budge , the boat upset , and one of the brothers , a fine young man , was unfortunatel y drowned . The other brother and Lieut . Saumerez had a very narrow escape , but were fortunatel y rescued . The bod y of the drowned man was recovered shortly after . The boat was npset by theforce of the-weather atthe time .

heard loud cries of " Murder" and " Police . " He ran towards the place from whence the cries proceeded , - and found there a gentleman bleeding profusely from the head . At the instant he- _Baw by the shade ofthe lampa man running in the direction nf West-street , and in consequence went-right after him , as fast as he could , but bad not proceeed far when he met a brother officer coming towards him with the prisoner in his custody . The prisoner was taken to Mr . Wiggs ,-arid tbe latter at once said that he was the person who struck him the blows on the head . — -Mr . Elliot : Did he state what he had struck him with ?—Witness ; Yes , sir , he said a short stick with a knob at the end ; but , in my opinion , it was a "life preserver . "—S .
Coppin deposed tbat about the same time before mentioned , - he heard the cries of " Murder " and "Police , ! ' and whilegoing to tbe spot from whence the cries proceeded , he met the prisoner , who was blowing at the time , aud appeared to have been vunning . He asked him where he came from , and he said from Pen ton-place , aud knowing this to be false , he stopped him , and told him he must take him to the place from whence the cries proceeded . The prisoner then said , " If there is a row between a man and his wife , I have nothing to do . with it , '" He ( Gopp in ); however , told him he must come' with him , and at this time the last witness , Kay , came up , and said that there was a gentleman very nearly murdered .

He ( the defendant ) was in liquor . — Mr . A'Beckett said that if the defendant was intoxicated , the cabman had no right to let him get into bis vehicle . At all events the cabman was not justified in giving a man into custody for not paying bis fare—Cabman ; What was I to do?—Mr . A'Beckett * . You ought to have taken out a summons against him , for no driver is authorised to give a man in charge for merely refusing to pay a fare . —Cabman : But he refused to give his name or address , and if I let him go I might whistle for my fare . —A policeman said the defendant , although he appeared to have been drinking , was not intoxicated , ' hut he heard him use very abusive _language when he asked for the fare . —Mr . A'Beckett said
the defendant was discharged .

She endeavoured to keep her place of refuge secret from bim , but he
succeeded in discovering it , and finding that she repelled all his overtures for a reconcilliation on the disgraceful terms be had before proposed to her , he became outraceously violent in front ofthe house , and expressed his determination to cut her throat the -first opportunity that presented itself . She contrived for some time to keep out of his way , but on Friday evening while passing with a female friend through _^ Leonard-street , Shoreditch , she was overtaken by the prisoner , who again importuned her to live with him , and on her repeating her refusal tore her bonnet and shawl from her person , struck her to the ground , and while she was lying partiall y stunned upon the pavement , dealt her such a " terrible blow between the eyes that she
endured the greatest agony , and afterwards found that tho bridge of her nose was broken . —The complainant subsequently applied for a summons against the prisoner , hut before it could he executed , " he again went to her house and threatened to take her life , and the magistrate therefore issued a warrant for his apprehension , which he managed to evade until the preceding night when he was at length captured by Holland the warrant officer . —A respectable-looking woman named Ellen Turner , who was in the company of the complainant at the time of the outrage , was also examined , and described the prisoner ' s conduct as ferocious and brutal in the extreme . —Mr .

I have often met them since arm in arm .: Upon the last occasion I told him I would kill him if ever I caught them together again .
Alter an this , on Monday , night 1 was walking through St . Paul ' s Churchyard , and there I saw complainant walking with my wife again , and they were laughing and talking together ; I was enraged at it aud struck him , and I could not help doing so . —Alderman Farebrother : And I think , you served him quite right . If I had caught a man with my wife ia the same manner , I would have broken every bone in his skin . You were wrong to attempt to make use of the knife though ; and as for you ( turning to the complainant , who was preparing to sneak out of the court ) , the sooner such disreputable characters as yourself return to tbeir own country , the better . Such tricks as these may do there , where the people are not so particular , * but in a country like this we don 't allow them . Now go away , and never let me see you here again under similar , evc . unwtanc . , or I shall

He saw one of tho van horses panting in the agonies of death , and the other breathing so hard that it appeared as if it would burst its heart at every
respiration . The first , a grey horse , dropped down dead soon after . Tho surviving horse , which appeared much exhausted / and in ' very low condition , was hanging by the traces , and it was somo time before they could release it . He had ascertained that the weight of the load was two tons five cwt . He believed the van weig hed another twenty-five cwt ., and this was to be drawn up a steep hill by two horses . A policman said he saw the surviving horse at tbe tail of the van , it had been just taken out of the shafts . It appeared very weak , and laboured very hard in its breathing . He lifted- its collar , and found an old wound on the shoulder renewed by the friction of the collar . Both the horses appeared like old worn-out coach horses , and quite unfit for work . They did not belong to
Messrs . Chaplin and Home , but were the private property of Mr . B . W . Home , of the same firm . They were in very low condition . —Other witnesses were examined who said that all the horses were well attended to . The wound oh the shoulder of tho horse was as large as _half-a-crown , and had fresh skin forming over it . —Alderman Farebrother said that no evidence had been produced to show from what cause the other horse had died . The defence at present set up only confirmed the charge of working a horse in an unfit condition . The fact of sending a horse out to work with a sore shoulder had been admitted by the witnesses for the defence , and he must therefore fine Mr . Benjamin Worthy Home 10 s ., and costs 2 s .. The money was immediately paid .. - '
MANSION-HOUSE ,-As ItA-HN Pickpocket and a Ladt op Spirit . —Andrew Carter was charged with having stolen a pocket-handkerchief . —Miss Caroline Weston , who resides in Bermondsey , said : On Monday night , at a little after six o ' clock , as I was passing through _Fonchurch-street , I saw tho prisoner put his hand iato the pocket of a gentleman , and pull out part of a handkerchief , I immediately seized the prisoner by the collar , and I called to the gentleman , who turned about . The handkerchief fell at his feet . —The Lord Mayor : You held the prisoner fast ?— Witness : ' Certainly I did , my lord ; and I would not let him go , as t he attempt was so palpable . —The Lord Mayor : What
have you to say , prisoner , to this lady ' s statement ? —The prisoner : I don't deny that she took me , my lord . What was I to do _' I am a poor Italian , in great distress , and as hungry as a wolf . I must eat , and I must get something to buy food ?—The Lord Mayor : Is the prisoner known ?—The policeman into whose custody the prisoner was given said the fellow was the companion of thieves . — The Lord Mayor : I shall send him for six weeks to hard labour in prison . I cannot sufficiently express my admiration of the spirit and presence of mind exhibited by the young lady who performed so hazardous a feat as that of taking into custody a person of this description . —The prisoner was then committed .
How Pickpockets are Punished . —Several pickpockets were brought up in the ' custody of Finnis , and summarily convicted by his lordship for having attempted to pick pockets . Tho Lord Mayor said he was happy to be able to state that the course he had pursued with respect to pickpockets coming before him , had been followed by the best results . Whenever any pickpocket bad previously been summarily convicted , he directed the police to produce the certificate of such conviction at the trial . In consequence of this plan during the past session many thieves who
would , if evidence of former crimes had not been produced , have escaped with imprisonment for a few months were sentenced to transportation , and thus society was relieved from tboso depredators at any rate for some years . It was , his lordship added , quite shocking to see thieves who had been long exercising their calling , sentenced perhaps to confinement in gaol for two or three months , and afterwards to find them not only committing plunder , but haunting tbe very scenes of tbeir former adventures .
CLERKENWELL . —Charge of Murder by a Husband . —Thomas Johnson , an elderly man , by trade a shoemaker , residing at No . 24 , Grahamstreet , Islington , was charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Johnson , _his . wife . —Edward Constable said that on Sunday morning last , about five o ' clock , he was on duty in _Macclesfield-street , St . Luke ' s , when the prisoner came up to him in a state of agitation , and said his wife was dead . Witness asked him the cause of her death . He replied , " I don ' t know . I was up stairs and heard a noise : I went down stairs and found her lying on the floor . He spoke to her , but she made no repl y , and he ascertained that she was dead . " Witness accompanied the prisoner to tho house . As he was going along
be said he knew nothing about it . On entering the back parlour , which was used as a workshop , witness found the deeeased lying on the floor . The p lace and furniture was all in confusion , and she was surrounded by a pool of blood . He lifted her arm up , and discovered tbat she was quite cold and dead . He called on Sergeant Barber and another constable , when they procured the attendance of Mr . Hutchinson , a surgeon . There was no bed or fire in the room . Tho deceased was dressed , with the exception of her shoes aud one stocking . Mr . Hutchinson examined the deceased ' s head , and the prisoner said , ' * I have not done it ; I have not done it . " Witness took him to the station-house , where
be was locked up . —Mr . John Hutchinson , surgeon , of No . 8 , River-street North , Islington , sworn , said that on Sunday morning last , he was called upon by the last witness to attend the deceased , at 24 , Graham-street , Islington . He proceeded there immediately , and in the back parlour found the deceased , whom he had seen on Saturday last . She was ly ing on the floor ; her bair was disordered , and matted with blood . She was on her right side , with her legs drawn up . The lower extremities were quite cold ; also her hands , Her face was very much bruised , and her eyes very much blackened and swollen . Her lips were cut ; her face was covered with blood ; there was a deep wound on her face . Her hands were covered with blood . Her
knees were also injured . The deceased was sixtythree years of age . She was quite dead . Witness asked the prisoner how it had happened . He said be did not know . The scalp of the head was very much injured and swollen . A cloak was in the apartment , which was saturated with blood . He again asked the prisoner how it occurred . lie replied that she fell down in a fit , and knocked herself about . Ho said , » I did not do it , I did not murder her . I missed her out of bed . I did not hear her breathe . I went down stairs and found her lying on the floor . I lifted her up , aud that caused the blood to be on my hands . I found she was dead , and immediatel y went for a policeman . She had had some dreadful falls . She was always falling about . I could not do anything
else . She never complained to witness of her being subject to fits or falling down since he attended ou her . The prisoner ' s working tools were in the room ; the bench was overturned . He went with the prisoner and the policeman to the station-house , and on bis return he examined the body ofthe deceased more minutel y . There were three females and a man , lodgers in the house , at the time . -Sergeant E . Barber , who assisted the first witness , said that before prisoner went to the stationhouse he ( witness ) turned the li ght of his lantern on him , and saw that his hands were covered with blood , particularly his nails . There was also blood ou his temple and on the hearthstone ; it appeared to have been wiped up with a oloak which lay close by
the deceased , which was saturated with blood . There was blood also on the walls and mantelshelf ; it was quite dry , but fresh . There was a jug upon the hob of the firegrate containing beer ; the jug was splashed with blood . There was also blood on the table . Mr . Hutchinson having said that the wounds were on the head and face , ic , might have been caused by kicks from a boot , witness returned to the station-house , and examined the prisoner ' s boots ( now produced ) , and he found marks of blood upon them , quite dry . "Witness asked the prisoner how tho blood came on his boots ,
He said they must have been caused by feeling after the deceased in the dark , Thero were four other parties lodging in the same house . He had ordered them all to attend tbat day to give evidence , but they were not present . They could give information as to the prisoner ' s ill-treatment of the deceased . Mr . Hicks , overseer of Islington , recognised the prisoner as being in the habit of illusing the deceased , and she prosecuted him in this court for cruelly beating her , when he was sent to prison for one month . —Mr . Tyrwhitt said ho would remand the prisoner for the result of the coroner ' s inquest .
A School For Yorao _Tuibvrb . —William Bristol , a follow of evil appearance , well known to the police as a notorious thief , receiver , and trainer of thieves , was placed at the bar before Mr . Tyrwhit t , charged b y Sergeaut Archer and Fisher , under the following circumstances : —Sergeant Archer said , that on Sunday evening last he was in company of Fisher in Gray ' s-inn-lane , when he saw the prisoner following a gentleman near Fox-court , endeavouring to pick his pocket of a handkerchief . A woman of loose character , seeing them watching the prisoner , called out to bim that ** B—¦ old Archer and Fisher are after you , " when he ran away , and , in oi dor to avoid them , ho entered a tobacco-shop , under protence of pur . chasing some tobacco , and they took hini into custod y .-Mr Tyrwhitt asked the officers what

they knew of tho prisoner ? Archet said , that the prisoner acted as ' deputy , " at a _ptuje called ' the Kitchen , " in Fox-court , Gray ' _s-inn- _' ione , a receptacle for notorious thioves , and the worst characters , and which was a regular nuisance to the respectable portion of tho inhabitants . On proceeding to tho " Kitchin " where the prisoner lodged , he made a search , and in his apartments he found a bayonet , the property of Mr . J . Yeoman , gunmaker , & c , of Chamber street , Goodmau ' sfields . It may be remembered , that Mr . Yeoman is contractor for guns and bayonets to the East India Company . One of his workmen was sent to the East India House with nine guns and nine bayonets , for inspection prior to the order being finished , and during his temporary a bsence in a public-house , to have some refreshment , the property was stolen from the passage , where he had left it . The bayonet now produced was one of the
identical bayonets that bad been stolen , and had no . doubt been received by the prisoner . He ( Archer ) was endeavouring to trace and apprehend the thieves . —Mr . Tyrwhitt inquired who was the owner of the house called the " Kitchen . "Fisher , 127 , G , said he did not know who was the owner of the house , but he knew that it was rented by a person named Burgess , and the prisoner acted as deputy , to the establishment , and was in the habit of receiving stolen property from boys and thieves of every description , and training youths in the art of picking pockets . A few nights ago he was watching after 6 ome thieves at this Kitchen , when he peeped through the window and saw the prisoner and several boys below . A string was
affixed from one side ' of the apartment t o the other ; a coat was pinned to it , and , a handkerchief being put into the pocket , the prisoner instructed the boys how to pick the . pocket of tho handkerchief , and' if they failed in performing the thing well , and to the prisoner ' s satisfaction , he would knock them down " and illuse them ; and at length , after some practice , iiis " pupils " would become perfect adepts in the " art and mystery" of picking pockets . Stolen goods were every day and every night taken to this p lace , which was constantly full ofthe most depraved characters in London . —Mr . Tyrwhitt remarked , that scarce a day passed over but something of the " Kitchen , " in Fox-court , was mentioned in connexion with robberies or'other disgraceful transactions . It was the duty of the parish authorities to look after such a place ; they
were bound to put it down by indictment at the sessions . Country people would look upon the police of London and the parish officers , wi t h contempt when , after the publicity given by the press to such an infamous place existing in the very centre of tho metropolis , it was not put down . He directed that Mr . James and the parish authorities of St . Andrews , Holborn , should be communicated with upon the subject , and their attendance requested at this court on the day of the prisoner ' s next examination , when the whole matter would be laid before them , and he did hope tbat the most decided measures would be adopted to crush so disgraceful a nuisance , and nothing should be wanting on his part to accomplish so desirablo an object , no then remanded the prisoner for a week for further evidence .

Witness went into the
coffeeroom and immediately missed from one of the tables two plated spoons . Witness ran after the Erisoner , and desired him to return . He would tell im what for when thoy got to the hotel . The prisoner said , " Oh , my God , here they are ; pray , forgive me . " He then produced the missing spoons , and witness took him back to the hotel , —W . Tue , the head waiter , said , on being informed of the robbery , he went into the coffee-room and missed , besides the table spoons , a silver salt spoon , which he charged tho prisoner with stealing , and he immediately replied , it is of no use ; here it is .

Words were followed by blows , a mob of from fifty to a hundred collected , and the noise was such as to disturb and alarm the neighbourhood . He called upon them to disperse , aud they made a show of doing so , but _presently collected again . Having again tried to
disperse them and failed , he procured assistance , and singled out the defendants as the ringleaders . —The defendants admitted fi ghting , but pleaded their ready submission to tbe police when taken into custody . They had been in the Casino , and one of the ladies bad fainted , out of which the quarrel arose . Abrams also pleaded that he had defended the policeman from violence , with which be was menaced by the mob . —Mr .

He then struck witness a violent blow in the eye and ran off , followed by witness , who overtook him when he again struck witness in the face , knocked him down , and struck and kicked him while on the ground . He again ran away , and was recaptured in Totten ' - ham-- ! Ourt-p lace , a cul de sac which afforded no means of escape . Prisoner had been many times in custody for offences of that kind , and was a known associates of thieves and prostitutes . Sentence-One month ' s imprisonment .

On the Tuesday evening the prisoner surrendered himself at the chief office in Scotland-yard , and said he had absconded about a fortnight since from his employer , taking with him £ 18 , his master ' s money . Another young man accompanied him , and it was through his _inducement that he applied his employer ' s money to his own use . The money all
was gone , and his companion had turned his back upon him and would not assist him . The prisoner said the charge was quite true , with the exception that his companion was not the sole cause of his robbing his master . Ho did not wish to throw blame upon others . Iu answer to questions by the magistrate , the prisoner said he filled the situation of clerk to Mr . Sibthorp , who was an agent to the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company , and was also agent to Mr . Watkins , a brewer in Ireland . —Mr . Henry remanded the prisoner for a week .

A few days since , on arriving in London , he was robbed of . his pocket book , which contained £ 27 . He was left utterly destitute . The thoughts of being in a strange country without any friends drove him to the commission of the act . He was now trul y sorry for what had occurred , and he had to express his gratitude for the kindness ho had received , both at the hospital and the workhouse — Mr . Henry advanced the prisoner £ 210 s . from the
poor box , in defraying his expenses to Paris , where bis brother irou'd receive him . The prisoner thanked his worship , and then left the court WESTMINSTER . -STEALINO Wearing Apparel . —Men Roland was charged with stealing several articles of wearing apparel , the property of ber master , Mr .
