Lla tOPTI - 111 METROPOLIS'. ~?; • InPUTES nP EVIDENOF. t AIM , BEFORE TifillOO. MI r rEt of THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ; 4110 &MST GIFFORD, Esq. wartrate of WeerAo r • . calla ifs, aged Examined. . 4 . at; the hus;ness o. your .e of titer - utncir In creased ?L-Very much indeed ik the commitments in December last. were - doubleewhao they were in the precedieg D. cember. . Have they gone on' increasing farfour years past ? They have gone on iacresAug vothia the last twelve Months. . . Can you contra's the number of committal* of your_Office with the'coneraittals - of the other Public Offices ?—The only mode of doing it is by a refer eice to the Newgate Celendar. I have not compared t:1:: number of commitments from our own Office with the uumher of commitments from other Offices, oxcapt at Bow street. I find the commitments for !rd at. the Old Bailey at the last Sessions, from our °thee, were 55, .comprising 72 individuals; from Boar-street they were only 26, comprehending 29 in dividuals. Then the difference between these two sums, tone Cher with the whole of the nomber''of persons put upon their trial, must be divided among the other Offices ?—Yes, and the other Magistrates residing out of the Metropolis ; the whole number of the commitments, as it appears by the Newgate Calen dar, the lait Sessions, were 170. Is your district more populous than any of the other districts ?—Our district is certainly populous bia I have not compared it wide the eitimated,popu lation of other districts. so as to be able to speak with atcutescy. Da you consider that the mass of your population consists of -diet class of persons who ordinarily com mit crimes, meaning the poor and indigent ?—lt cer tainly does contain a vast number of poor persons ; but the largest number of poor persons of any perti (islet class in our district is the journeymen weavers, and . persons coquetted with the weaving trade; and I believe, generally speaking, they are as hones: a race of people as any inexistence, although labouring under` very great distress. Teir eietress at present is very severe ?—lt is ettretifely severe ; so much so, that I have reason 'to believe twelve thousand to :ms are out of employ. Do you know how many men are estimated as wOrking either at each loom, or connected with it 3-- Idea, women, and children, I should suppose not less than twenty thousand ; perhaps thirty thousand. Whin I say twelve thousand looms are out of em ploy, some of those looms are partially employed; but if you estimate the work usually done in those loomseand then deduct the deficiency, it would puke a total of twelve thousand looms unoccupied. In those commitments from your Office, were there many for privately stealing from the person ? I think not for privately stealing ; some for open street robberies ; indeed, our at three o'cleck in the afternoon, in the presence of a number of people. Do you think that the crime of picking of pockets has of late very much increased ?—I cannot say that the 'rime of picking pockets, as far as my observa tion goes, hes increased ; but the crime of street rob befits, v.hich are properly speaking highway *vibe tics, has very much increased. You mean by that, picking pockets, attended with violence ?—Yes. Do you think that the desire of persons robbed in the streets to recover their property by offering a reward, rather than by prosecution, tends to encou rage or increase the number of street robberies?— If such practice prevailed, of which I am not aware, to any extent, it would produce that effect.. You have stated, that according to your observa tion the number of committals for privately stealing froth tie person has not increased of late years; do you think that the change of the law upon that sub ject, taking away the capital part of it, has had any effect in diminishing it ?—I am not competent to say that ; I am not aware of it at all. Do you think that it would be a considerable far- ! therance to public just ; ce , if the re was a p erson in ' the situation of a public prosecutor I . —l certainly think it would materially promote the ends of jostles., by'bringing forward many more prosecutions than are at present brought forward, owing to the dread of thti parties at incoming the expense and trouble of a prosecution. Do you think it would also prevent that of which every day. furnishes fresh examples, namely, collusions between parties I—l do think se. In what way do you think that persoel ought to be appointed and paid ?—I should think the appoint ment should be vested in the Crown, and he should be paid by the public as the Judges. re paid. 1 He would 4 course be sernewhat in the situation' of die Attorney General, who would constantly act for individuals ?-eYes. as far as criminal prosecutions are concerned. He would have the-sr:engin of the evidence, and the leading and conducting the prosecution ?—Yes. Acting in capacity of 6-elicitor sold Counsel ? Yes, Have you ever heard it to be the opinion enter tained in the district in which, you attend to ficense flee public-houses, that if a victualler comes there with a recommendatiree from a particular brewer, he has a better chance of getting a license than it he comes without,? —Unquestionably. Do you think that the system of brewers connect ing themlolees, either by mortgage or by purchase, with the different public houses in the Metropolis, is one greatly injurions to the Metropolis ?—I am of opinion that it would be highly desirable that neither brewers nor distillers should be proprietors of public houses. But I should think that any law , that tended to disqualify them from holding such a property, in the present state of trail!, would be such an invasion of private property as the British Parliament would be loth to encourage ; at the same time I think that if a law were passed hiving only a prospective ope ration to prevent Magistrates from granting licenses to any houses which shall, after the enactment of such a law, become the property of such brewers or distillers, it would have a very beneficial effect, • and weetild, I should think, be equally satisfactory to the brewers and to the public. In what way do you think the public are preju diced by the victualling-housed being the property of the brewers think they are prejudiced in this way—that in some instants, brewers of a certain description, I mean men in a little way, who have property in public-houses, cod make ti,te take whatever' land in Out way )hut Where 'Oil Lohdon, would bad liquor, io t' destroy.ng th give such re sn, others it would not. Mooston.Hoose.—Yeterday SMA notorious cha racters, wlqie names are Rodden, Thomas, Blythe, Barry,- Ditba,- Barton. and Philhits, were brought in custody before the Loan MAYOR by the night pa ntile cf St: Bride's. Fleet-street, who apprehended tbem at an unseasonable hour yesterday morning, committing acts of riot and disorder in the streets, to the geeat annoyance of the neighbourhood. Soave' of them were also found in a pubbc ..iouse called the Plough, in Black Horse Alley, and being either we known loose or disorderly characters, pickpockets, or reputed thieves, they were conveyed to the Comp ter, but not without some resistance. Upon their persons were found articles of strong suspicion. The proprietor of the public-house in question has fre quently been before the Lono MAYOR '(or keeping, his house bpen in a disorderly way until the MOM unseasonable hours, and for the reception of the idle and prnfligoe. His proutises of amendment, how• ever, hitherto prevented a prosecution ; hut the Loan MAYOR assured hirti that he should not new escape,' is he would not only have his licence suspend bet' order the house to be indicted. The prisoners were remanded for another examination - . About a dozen more of those famishing wretches who. are now to be seen in almost every street and avenue in suth numbers, were brought up by the of ficers of Bridge Ward', who found the poor men in the Alcoves of London Bridge, hiding or endeavour ing to take repose. Being asked by the Loins MAYOR the reason of their leaving Hocked to that quarter, and whether it was :lot in consequence of some feeling ladies there occasionally dealing out to them bread, herrings, &c. ? The men answered, Yes. The Loan MAYOR said, that however humane the intention, t;:e practice must not be allowed. Such encouragement would at once make the place a scene of established va grancy, and have the effect of drawing to the spot all the wretched in the Metropolis, who, in the hope of being preserved from starvation, would prefer idle. 'less to industry, or prevent them making such efforts as would be likely to release them flout their misery. I .His Lordship therefore ordered the officers to put up a notice, and to exert themselves towards.preventing the practice in question ; and having examined each of the parties be-ore him minutely, ordered those who could lay claim to a parish to be passed thereto, 'and these who had none (discharged sailors and seamen ' in the navy, but who had not served sufficiently long to entitle them to relief) he desired should be taken ' care of in the Compter until another asylum was , provided for them. Among the above were six young I men, whose ages were from 17 to 25, but who de clared they could no where obtain employment, and were literally starving. " MAIILE3ROUGH•STRERT.—Two youths of the names of Tyler and Morrison were charged with rubbing Mr. Jobson of his watch and appendages. The pro. secutor was surrounded by about a dozen ruffians, at hall-past twelve o'clock, in Charlotte.street, Fitz roy-square, and knocked down, when an attempt was made to get his watch. He resisted, and was tinted into the middle of the street, where he was knocked down, and his watch taken from him, but he recd. vered it. The two prisoners he identified as haviog pursued him to the middle of the road, and they were secured at the time. They Were fully commit ted for trial. A charge was made ky a respectable tradesman against his lodger, who from a series of misfortunes had been reduced from comparative affluence to beg. .gary. The charge was for pawning from his fur nished lodgings goods to the amount of RI 1. It was' stated that the accused was prompted - to the felony the most abject distress, and that his wife had previously sacrificed her last garment to keep them from starving. The Magistrate deplored the circum stances related, hut the Act of Pa:liament was impe rative, and lie freed the accused C 22, being double the value of tl e property pawned, in default of which be was senteoced to six months impt isenrnent. QDREN•IQUARE —Yesterday Mr. G.orge Webber 'and Mr. Thomas James, livery-stable-keepers, of Pimlico, applied to the Magistrate (Mr. Colquhoun)' for his assistance and advice. They said, that tliey weie in the habit of having horses and soldiers billet ' ted upon them, and fot the last eight months they had been grievously burthened, with numbers beyond what, in their opinion, they ought to be at one time ; they had from four to eight at a time, while more than thirty other stable-keepers in the parish h id. not during that time one single horse billeted upon them. Mr. James said, that some time ago he had fifteen of the new corps of Lancers quartered upon him, sad he was obliged to apply to Mr. BIRNIE, the Magis trate, of Bow-street, who interfered, and caused them to be removed. He now should have been the last ',loan to have complained without a cause, but 1* thought that the soldiers ought to be fairly billeted; and if that was the case it would be a very trifling expense individually. The Magistrate said, he was sorry that the High Constable of St. George's, Ha nover.srpurre, had, not made an equal division of the soldiers upon the stable-keepers. He therefore ordered a summons to be issued for the High Constable to meet the parties on Tuesday next, and advised them to wait upon him M the interim,' to come to some understanding upon the business. UPSETTING A Mnat.eort..—The Rev. Mr. Robin.' son appeared before the Magistrate, in consequence' of a letter written to him from the Office to request his attendance respecting a complaint made against' a dog of his, which in the course of yesterday had unfortunately rushed against a tnilk.paili, and seat- 1 tered its contents. If this was an offence, it appeased to him to be a new ono. The earin ought to have been holding his pail, and then the academic would not have happened. The Magistrate said, that per sins selling 'milk were often obliged to quit their pails in order to hand the ;elk to their customers. In this country, every gentleman who kept a dog was an. lewerable for any damage he might do; and as the milkman had lost his milk, he wat entitled to be re munerated for the same. • The Rev. Gehtleman ex. pressed himself perfectly. satisfied With the decision, returned thanks for, the Magistrate's politeness in writing to him, and. having satisfied complainant% demand, made his bow and left the Office. LONDON *MM . & OC7SIBER . , 4 ,`,o6ziox.—The request fur Cottons for export tine ain increasing, Rearticularli for Pernams ;—the *reel are, howeverik a shade under our quotation,: ; 'theliolders are not ansi2us to , effect sales, and will '-submit to no depression; in ainf.equence, the put- O ases lait week are limit.iihto about 900 bags ; 860 remains were sold at 2s Id, and eighty at 25 °id ; 128 Minas .12d a 22:d ; 300 Dowd s 20:d a 2i; ;- 93 Surinam% 210 A and a small parcel Ben gali, in the house, Rild. The letters received from America yesterday. Rive rather more favourable accounts as to trade ;—from New York of ihe-SOth of September, the purchasers of British goods for the fall supply were stated very extensive ; from Charleston, the letters dated . l6th of September, mention 'that small parcels of the new crop of Cotton were already appearing at market. " Llvnttrooc, Ocroaza 26.—Our Cotton market has been rather quiet 'daring the week. 'Mete has been a moderate inquiry for Boweds from the trade, but less business has been done in Brazils, owing to the holders remaining firm at tile last advance. There were 1100 bags brought forward by public sale yes terday—of them 668 were sold, viz. 341 Demerara;, which went off steadily at 20id for middling quality to 234 for clean and fine marks, and one lot at 2s 61.1 ; also 3'24 Sea Islands, which went off with some briskness at 2. (id for fair to Its Sd for good. Prices of all descriptions of Cotton have maintained the quotations of lait week." 6120 A kt..— The intelligence received on Tuesday last from Dublin, that the stopping distillation from Grain was at least premature, considerably affected the Su4ar market ; there was little business effected ; the holJets of Muscovades generally would not sub mit to any great depression ; they continue to watch with anxiety the fluctuations of the Corn-mar. ket, still anticipating that as the crops, no doubt, are very deficient, the stopping the distilleries from tr,ingl Grain (at least in Ireland.) must follow as a matter of course ; the sales of Muscovades, which were, however, very trivial after Tuesday, were at a de pression of 6d and Is per cwt. under the currency realised by the public sales on that day. There was little business done this forenoon in Muscovades by private contract, the purchasers hold init off to see the effect of the public sales adver tised ; the first consisted of 173 hhds. and 57 tierces Barbarian Sugar ' • the whole went off freely—the fine qualities sold 2s a Ss higher than the previous sales, the lower descriptions without variation, from 73s 6d a 84s, fine white 944, infetiur 88. a 906 6J.— The second sale, which may be considered as a cri terion of' the market currency, consisted of 374 hhds. Demerara and St. Lucia Sugars ;—the inferior browns 05s 6d a 68s 6d, went off a shade under the market prices by private contract; middling Sugars, 70s a 731 6d went off rather higher ; generally it may be stated that the market prices were fully sup. ported, with the exception of the low browns, which ate heavy ; two lets this forenoon went off at Gls 61. Several purchases of Muscovades were made fur exportation. The export demand for Refined goods last week was very trivial ; the wholesale grocers were, how ever, considerable purchasers for the home supply ; there was little sariation in the prices ; the market is better supplied with goods, particularly Lumps and Crushed Sugar, which ion:inue in reqnest. There has been considerable briskness in the Ito. fined market ; yesterday upon 'Change and this fore noon the exporters have shewn a great disposition tc purchase, and very considerable transactions have taken place. Lumps. which were in. considerable supply, are again getting scarce, and contracts made for goods to be ready eight or ten days hence. The prices generally are to-day Is. a 2s. higher.—Mo lasses 31s. In Foreign Sugars there was little or no business effected by plivate contract. A public sale of 2991 bags East India Sugar took place, described as B. n gals ; they were very indifferent in quality ; the first pile, yelliite, 40s 6d a 425. went off rather high; the remainder law browns, in bad condition, 28. 6d '29s 6d 30s and SI s 6d. Currex.—,The demand for Coffee last week was rather languid ; in consequence, the public sales that had been advertised were geneially withdrawn ; only ' one took place; it went off freely, and about 2s. higher than the preceding Tuesday's sale ; it chiefly consisted of ordinary descriptions of Jamaica. The quantity of Coffee in the market is trivial, and as the holders are generally of opinion that the present cur 'rency will be fully maintained, they withdraw their Coffee from sale whenever they observe the least heaviness in the market; several extensive holders have taken their Coffee from present sale, in expecta tion of considerably higher prices towards the spring. The alterations in the Exchanges, and the accounts from the Continent which are rather favourable, will probably affect the prices of Coffee; there has been considerable more business doing by private contract, but at very fluctuating prices; only one small sale ' took place this forenoon, of course it does not give any criterion of the market prices ; it went off freely at about Ss. per cwt. higher than the public sales of last week ; ordinary Jamaica 65s 6 i ; goad ordinary 67s 6d a 7Us ; Middling Dominica 82s ; and very probably the prices by private contract are neatly at the same improvement; we do inn alter our quota tion until more extensive sales fix a market currency. IRISH PROVISIONS, &C.—There is no variation in Beef or Pork since our last ; the late letters from Ireland mention that it is expected the first sl:iprucnts of new Beef will be of inferior quality. Bacon un varied ; new singed Waterford is offered 2s. under our quotations tree oft board ; there was some ap. penrance of a tevival in the demand for Butter last week, and the quotations were realised ; the market has since become exceedingly heavy. Hum ?LAX, ANT) TALLow..—Tileie is a very con sideXable improvement in the market, and an appear ante of a reviving trade; since our last the demand for Hemp and for Flax has been rather extensive ; the former 'has advanced from JIM a £2, the latter di per ton. The request for Tallow was also more coisiderable last week, and the prices are a shade `tither. The letters from St.Tetersburgh yesterday tate that the Exchange was higher, It was TOBACCO. —There have been more arrivals of Vir- Ilia Tobacco, we believe ablaut 800 hhds. ; the prices nominal. The late sales of ordinary Maryland been . at 'prices a shade lower; thee is little or no doing for exportation. ' • VAG - l'UttiF of WM On .
