Maotis ' s-iase- —Two fashionably-attired young men , named Henry Cooper Paine and Thomas Pray , were charged w »* h laving created a disturbance in . the ball-Toom of tbe rartlienon , in Si , JIartiniJanc , Miss jlisabetli Seyton , a professor of dancing , of 10 , St . 3 Iargarefs-jerrace , Westminster , stated that she rented the joom in question two nights a-week , Tuesday and Friflayi for the purposes of her profession . On these mghts the room was kept strictly private , an < 3 no one was admitted hnt the pupils and their Mends . On the preceding' evening , ahout ten o ' clock the two prisoners , who Were entire strangere to herself , ^ presented tb « m 3 el-res at the door , and demanded ahmittanee . They were informed by the doorkeeper of the regulations , and refused admittance , butthey insisted upon going in , and eventually succeeded in getting in . -She then went up to ihein , and told them in the most polite manner . that they were intruding , whereupon Paine said that they were in
a public room , and she was no better than she should be . They were afterwards tamed out of the room , and ¦ being still abusive , a police officer was sent for , and they were given into custody , A number of other witnesses were called upon to prove that the two prisoners had been unruly in their conduct , and two officers proved that they had the greatest difficulty in getting them away ; one of them declaring that he would not go without they took him on a stretcher , while the other stoutly resisted , and pummelled the officer with a life-preserver . On cross examination , several of the ¦ witnesses admitted that the ball-room was , on every other " occasion / public , a ' nd the house itself was . apuhlic coffee-house . —Paine , in his deferice , Jprdtested , in the first place that he icnew nothing of his felKnvTrisone ' r , arid then proceeded to state thathehad frequently been to the-Parthenon , and on those occasions he
paidsixpence'for entrance into the ball-room ; and threepence for taking care of his hat . On Friday iughtr he went to the . establishment , and : after paying sixpence , as usual jhe entered the ball-room ,-and was treated in the-manner deseribed by the prosecutor . ' Pray attributed all blame . to- his . fellow-prisoner , but certainly he could not help deprecating the * conduct of the policemenVwho behaveil themselves in the most violent manner , and had made the most of the case . -He had been * confined in a filthy cell , with three wretched , drunken beings , and * he hoped iis : worship would consider this . as a sufficient-punish- ' meat for the offence , if he had committed . any : As to the life-preserver , it was all nonsense : it was a small thin walking cane , which be carried in his hand at the time . 2 St .. Jardine fined Pray £ 3 , ; and : in . default of payment to "be * imprisoned one month , and Paine , £ 110 s n or a fortingnti ' s imprisonment . . ... - .

The . letters were couched in language of tht most' threaten ing nature . * ; A communication of a similar tendency had been ., transmitted . by the . same writer ; to the parish clerk , of St > George ' s church , urging him to give
utterance to certain . slanderous expressions against Miss Spriggs , during divine service , and threatening to set fire to , the ! : edifice if he did . jnot . comply . : TheBe ; iinfemous . epiBtles naturally created a very , considerable sensation in the parish , and eventually the prisoner Killerby , a youth ,, the son of a tradesman in White-street , near St . George ' s church , was taken into custody on suspicion of being the writer . . When , brought before Mr . Cottirigham on that occasion , the . prisoner ' s writing > was compared with that of the anonymous letters , and although there wai a similarity , still there was . no person in attendance who eould speak , with confidence to the identity ! In the course of the examination-it transpired . that the accused was in the habit of attending in the . belfry , and assisting in the ringing of the bells , and that while speaking to one of the men on the subject of the anonymous letter . received by the parish clerk , he ( the prisoner ) gave utterance , to language , which : would lead to the . supposition that he was well acquainted with the -writer , and he requested the party , with whom h& held the conversation
not to mention the circvunstance to ; any person . : After the examination of numerous witnesses ,- the . accused simply giving a . denial to the charge ,- ilr ; Cottingham remanded himfor a month on bail . : When theprisoner was placed at the baron Monday , -Mr .

Such was the frequency of these pawnings that ev ^ ry . a rtide of plate , jewellery , . ¦ and . wearing apparel he . longing to'Mr . Shaw , must have frequently passed through the hands of Mr .

care of Mr . Shaw , had been plundered of its contents , all of which had been pawned with . Mr .. Turner , redeemed , and pawned a second time . ' Some idea may be formed of the extent to' which these pawnings were carried on , from the facf that during the last month articles which * had been in pawn for £ 114 hadbeentaken out , while others to the amount of £ 123 were pledged ,. As much as £ 25 in on * day was received upon difierent articles , andapairpf silver caridlegticks ' TFere repeatedly pawed in the morning and taken out again in the afternoon to be used at night , so that the sum received by the pawnbroker for interest inust have been enormous .
