RENTS. Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg has, by a circular, addressed to his tenants, intimated, that in consequence of the 13. A two harvests being unusually expensive, he will return at the neat audit 15 per cent. on the whole of the last year's rent.— County Chronicle. , The Earl of Cork has made an abatement of 24 per cent. on his last half-year's rents to his tenants as Marston Bigott, &c. and Isis lady has ca t timil her, annual gifts of wearing apparel sod bed liner to be distributed Ao all the poor females of the parish. Her Ladyship, for Many years past, has established a Sunday School at Marlton Bison, where the poor fealties are clothed and edu cated at ber Ladyship's expense. The tenants of the Earl of Westmoreland, residing on his Lord - sfiip's 'estaies at Sharlston, near Wakefield, have recently for warded a :mind robin to his Lordship, representing to him the • • depressed situation to which they were reduced by the circum stances of the times, and praying him to afford them some relief; and that, in consequence, his Lordship had remitted all the tithes which were usually paid In kind on his • estate.. This redaction 'is estimated as equal to at least 26 per cent. upon the rental of the farms. It is further stated that his Lordship has ordered the price of coals gathered on his Yorkshire estates to be reduced from as. to ss. per dosen.--Laeftla Patriot. Ourcontemporary of Settsrday week 'having published a most preponerous and false statement of the allowances made by the Marquis of Stafford on the rents of his English estates. we have been requested to caution the public against the deception. That paper says that the deductiont were, In 1821, 32 per cent. ; 1822, 46 per cent. ; 1823, 35 per cent.. and in proportion during suc ceeding years down to the present time. Now tire real fact is, that the deductions were in 1821, 10 per cent. 1822,16 per cent. and in the same proportion since. Thus it will appear that the highest reduction has but been 16 per cent. and nut 46, as stated. This, however, is not the whole of the mischievous paragraph Alluded to. The writer hopes that this 46 'per tent (alias 16) will have the effect of keeping together the capital of his tenantry, and cause the land to be preserved in good condition This is as absurd as the other is false. We learn from a most respectable Cor respondent that no such effect has been or is likely to he produced, And that those alluded to are as much distressed as other agricul- turista, and u much inclined Is any can be to quit their farms, and to seek a happier prospect, far from the scenes of their earlier and more prosperous days.—York Herald. We have from time to time, during the last six weeks. given many instances where landlords have made a certain per tentage reduction of their Michaelmas rents. and of clergymen who have followed their example in regard to tithes. Now these examples, generaUy speaking, are very praiseworthy ; but it cannot be de nied that many of these instances of generosity have arisen from a necessity of submitting to the state of the times. Landlords can do no ultimate good by making these deductions—they must give new leases at reduced rents to meet the state of the market, other- wise no farmer will take. an interest to improve his farm. It is useless to expect that the former high prices will return. and it . would certainly be more meritorious at once to submit, than be compelled to do it hereafter.—Cheitenhain Journal. SCHEMES OF RELIEF. • • • It is the general understanding among those likely to know that the relief which will, in the ensuing Session of Parlia-• • went.. be afforded to the brewing trade, will consist in the total abolition of the ale and porter duty (91. a barrel of 56 gallons,) and the duty on table beer (Is. Iod. a barrel). The drawback of is. cd. on every gallon of malt spirits manufactured will, It is expected, be abolished. No alteration is to be nude on the duty on malt (iSs. a: boll.) Government not being able to dispense with it ; but it is considered that this reduction of duty will put the brewers more on a par with the distillers.—Glasgow Ckron. • A 'Public Meeting was held at the Three Cups Inn, Colchester, on Saturday, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the re peal of the Duties of Malt and Beer.—E. Clay, Esq. (the Mayor,) in the Chair, who ins neat speech, introduced the business of the Meeting.—Mr. Wearier°, M.P. after spewing the universal slis-; tress which prevailed read a number of resolutions, pointing out -the evils, which proceeded from a depressed agriculture, and a di minished capital.—Sir G. H. Smyth was adverse to the object of the meeting, because if the Malt and Beer tax was taken off, some • other must be substituted, and if that were a property tax be had no hesitation in saying it would be ruinous to the country.—Mr. D. W. Harley, after expressing his anxiety to view the question distinct from all party feelings or prejudices, concluded by recom- mending a graduated property tax as the best substitute for that they were anxious to get repealed, beginning at one and two per cent. on small properties, and advancing in proportion to the pro perty ; so that those who were possessed of 1850,000 per annum should contribute in proportion to their means. After several other Gentlemen had addressed the assembly, it was unanimously re solved, on the question being put by the Mayor, that a Committee of seven Gentlemen, including Mr. Western and Mr. Harvey, should be appointed to draw up a petition to Parliament, embody ing the contents of Mr. Western's resolutions, and in particular praying for a repeal of the duties on Malt and Beer. A meeting of the Magistrates, manufacturers, and weavers of Norwich, took place in that city on Tuesday last, for the purpose of discussing the policy of a reduction in wages. Several Gentlemen • entered into statements, with a view to show that the bombasin manufacture was in a very depressed state, and that the labourers could not subsist if their wages were lowered. The Mayor, in answer to a statement made by Colonel Harvey, said that not only was the market for bombasins in a shocking state, but the demand had decreased SO, if not 75 per cent. • Mr. Watts corroborated , this statement, and said that the manufacturers of the city were do ing absolutely nothing ; but it would be impossible to effect a fur ther reduction of wages. Another speaker said that about Cid. and a fraction were about the ge amount of the earning of a hard working man and a family ; and gave his opinion that it would be better for a man to be transported than to continue in the born basin trade, if it did not improve. Ate-noose Lsorearea.—We understand that his Majesty's Mi nisters have determined to attend to the now so loudly expressed voice of all classes of people upon this subject, and have it in con. temFlation to allow beer to be sold by retail (by any person that chooses,) without a licence, so that it is not sold to the public at a higher price than threepence per quart, without the restriction, as at present, that a certain quantity of beer must be produced from a given quantity of malt, but will leave the quality of the beer to the brewer that makes it, so that he may brew it as good as he pleases. The brewer or vender, who is ambitious for a good demand for his article on an increasing trade, will then be enabled to obtain it by means of making his beer of tied quality, the only restriction being that it is not to be allowed to be drank or consented upon the brewer's or the vender's premises. The granting licences to the • Inns and ale-houses will be removed, and in future be placed under the management of that respectable and vigilant beard of revenue —the Commissioners of Excise—who, upon proper securities being tendered and entered into before them, or their respective collec tors and supervisors, will be authorized to grant ale-house and vic tuallers'• beet licenses, (In the same manner that they now do the wine and spirit licences,) to any persons that apply for them, under prOper legislatiei restrictions and penalties ; and it being necessary that good regulation and•order should be kept in licensed inns and ale-houses, and the same rules and regulations not being•applicable to 04:the Magistrates, at their respective local meetings or petty sessions, (who, of course, are acquainted with the respective thus ' dons of the licensed houses,) and the need and necessities of the place or nilghbburbood where such licences are granted fib, are to "mime fat-thelack of the licence at what hour such houses shall begenerally closed or shut up, with an exception, as stated, for • • coubcosd and waggon houses, and also for fairs or other public occasions • the non-compliance with which will subject the ion or • ab-hosee-lieeper to Excise information and penalty.• under the de . sits of the enthusing local magistracy, or justices meeting in petty . . . •• We Uteri n e time since eodeavoured to open the eyes of our friends seldrist the hopeful systens • ef tradesmen allowing pounder to oar - vantk .

Batcnron, Dec. 21.—The Bast Hounds, with Mr. Cra ven and a field, numbering perhaps from two to tine hundred Gentlemen of tried worth, met at Plimpton on Tlarsday. The weather on the bills was not very promising for scent; there was,* cold north-easterly wind. The main force moved ham Plimpton in battle array, and unkennelled in that wood about neon. It agree ably turned oat that the seeat lay much better in the low country thm bad been expected; and as the fox, disdaining a straight course paled ihrough Mr. Crtppa's ground at Stanton, and reachedWal rUngcori-wood without check, the chase was est:ellen:. Reynard, in the wood, essayed to play off some of his shifting tricks, but failed in his attempts ; he broke cover toward. Off beat, taking up the hiU through Sir George Shiffner's plantations, threaded them, and crossed for Lord Chichester's Park, at a racing pace. Men, horses, and dogs, rendered more keen in the pursuit by the temporary halt which bad occurred in the wood, layed to him in prime style, to the Imminent danger of his brush. That trophy of victory, it was commonly expected, would he gained in the Park ; but Reynard, of the true game breed disap pointed these hopes, and, finding his ground not tenable within the enclosure, let out his remaining strength, sad scaled the bills. He was then • chased in view for nearly two miles, till, exhausted and worn out, be changed his route, and endeavou to ,regain the Park, but thwarted in the design, he • dipped the hill afar Ditching, and ran on the edge of it to jolt above Mr. Lane% near Plumpton, evidently making for his old cover, but was obliged to lay up, dead beat, in the hedge-row, where the dogs ran into him in fine style. " The sportman's pleasure was no more—his joy was in the chase." Lord Chichester, Capt. Wake field, Mr.. Leighton, tice. were in at' the death. Lord Lake, Lord Gage, Sir C. Pratt, Mr. Russell, atc. were in the field. This brilliant run occupied full two hours and twenty minutes.

(Middlesex Sittings, before Mr. Justice Gauzes . end a Special Jury.) 11113 , 411 V. SILOONS MID 07114,111. Mr. Serjeant Wan; Mr. Seamus, and Mr. /3oezut, conducted the plaintiff's case; and Mr. Serjeant TADDY and Mr. Serjeant JONI, that of the defendants. The action was brought by the plaintiff against the defendants as directors tof "The Famatina Mining Company," one of the epbe merals of 1825, to recover a balance of salary due to the plaintiff as superintendent of the company's mining concerns in South America, and also for monies laid out and expenses incurred on account of the defendants. The plaintiff was employed by the de fendants in the summer of 1825, and a contract was entered into, whereby they engaged to pay him a salary at the rate of £6OO a year fur the first year, commencing from his embarkation, and £5O additional each succeeding year until he completed the period of three years from the date of his arrival at the mines. If at that period no fresh contract were entered into, the plaintiff's expences home to England, and those of his family, were to be defrayed by the company. And if before the expiration of the three years the defendants should think proper to dismiss the plaintiff from their service, they were only to do so on giving a twelvemonth's notice, or a twelvemonth's salary, and were also to defray his expenses home. The plaintiff embarked at Falmouth, together with his family, on board the Margnis o f Anglesey, on the 29th of August, 1825, and sailed on the 12th of September following. On arriving at Monte Video, after encountering great danger of shipwreck, the vessel was detained in consequence of the blockade of Buenos Ayres by the Brazilian squadron, whereby the miners and others employed by the company were unable to reach the mines, which were 1,100 miles distant from Monte Video; and it was not until the month of March following, that the plaintiff was enabled to proceed to the end of his journey, having previously employed a company of German miners to accompany him. On his arrival in the mineral district, he proceeded to adopt the best measures he could for carrying the company's speculations into effect. Owing, however, to the insufficiency of funds, he was unable to make any considerable progress in the undertaking, and for much of what he did accomplish he was indebted to the means afforded him by private loans, and other expedients resorted to on the spot. At length, his resources being exhausted, and the Company not having funds to remit him, they resolved to reduce their Mining Establishment, and the plaintiff, in conse quence, received a communication from three Honorary Di rectors of the Company, who resided in South America, after he bad been two years in their employment, that his services were no longer required. With much difficulty and personal suffering, he effected his return to England. and now brought the present action to recover the balance which he alleged was due to him. The defendants contended, that they were not liable, because they had contracted merely on behalf of the com pany, and not on their own responsibility ; and because the agree ment was not under seal. Both these grounds of objection were overruled by the Learned Judge, and the items of account were therefore gone into, the defendant's Counsel having declined to refer this part of the case. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £1,025 ; together with she further sum of £320, as the expenses of his family's journey home to England, and also seven months' addl.., tional salary, at the rate of £7OO a year, in case the Court 'above shall be of opinion, upon the legal construction of the contract, that the plaintiff is entitled to remuneration upon these two points. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 26. Wan. /Mersa, a coachmaker, late cif Bartholomew-square, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of Messrs. Curl and Upstone. The insolvent, who appears to be verging on 70 yeah of age, stated that he was married to his present wife in 1826. Shortly before which he executed a marriage settlement in favour of his wife, for #5O a year, chargeable on a house of his in Theobald's road, the rent of which was 1164 a year. He also had two houses in Bartholomew-square, worth 430 a year each. All his furni ture be sold in May, a few days before he went to prison, to a broker for about .1110. William Hackwood, a carman, stated, that in May he was em ployed by the insolvent's wife to remove a van load of furniture from his house to the house of his son, in &. George's Market, Southwark, and at the same time another van was loaded also with furniture., and taken to the same place, making two loads of good furniture. There were also 14 stoves, which the witness had now in his possession, because the insolvent's wifi had not paid him his charge for removing the goods. Mr. COOll said,.thas if the creditors could have got this furni ture, the insolvent would not have been kept in prison a single day. Mr. Woonaoors said, it was all' the insolvent s wife's doings. Mr. Edward Savage Bayly, solicitor for the opposing creditor, deposed, that if the insolvent had given up this furniture, they would have relieved him from prison. Cross-examined—Witness could not think the insolvent was In- sane, but be was a very obstinate man. Had not beard that the insolvent's wife gold the furniture unknown to her husband. but bad heard that it was all removed to the son's house, for the benefit of the insolvent, when he had taken the relief of the Act. The in solvent had offered to pay the creditors 15s. in the pound, if time were allowed him; but he offered no security for the payment of it. Mr. Coots bare intimated to the insolvent, that the creditors were still disposed to release him, if he would give up the furniture. ' Mr. WoOnsoore said that was a very fair offer, and be Would advise the insolvent to agree to it. The lnsAvent *aid he Ind nothing to give up. Mr. Woonseora begged that the case might be adjourned for the present, id order to endeavour to bring the imi4vent to his The Court observed that that was much the better plan, and desired the insolvent's attorney to esplain the consequences of such aussduet as It appeared the insolvent had been guilty - of before be alsie up again' to the Court.

Before Mr. Baron GARILOW• William Brasier, aged 18, was capitally indicted for stealing Aloo and upwards, in the dwelling-house of John King, at Chlllington. The prosecutor is a labouring man, living in a cottage at Cbil- Hatton, in this county. From habits of industry he had contrived to save the above named sum. A female who lived in the same cottage with him, bad also contrived to save £lO, which, together' with the prosecutor's money, was placed in a chest in one of the bed-rooms. On the 19th of September the prosecutor went out, as li was his custom, leaving his money and cottage, as he Imagined, in a secure state. On his return he found the house had been entered,, by thieves, and the whole of the money taken away. The prisoner was seen near the cottage ; and after his committal to gaol he con (coed the robbery to a boy in confinement on a trifling charge.— The Jury found the prisoner Gutty. rseheard James was put to the bar, charged with the =Waugh ter of Mary Anne Alicorn, at Brighton. Mr. Loma conducted th e case for the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that the de ceased, who was a girl of the town, met the prisoner on the &rpm' at Brighton, on the 2d of September last : they bad a quarrel, and the prisoner struck the deceased several blows on the bead, one of which knocked her down ; she fell with her bead against the rail-; tags, and died soon after from the concussion. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sen tenced to seven years' transportation. - FIRM AT LIIIIITSMANT i0111311211G. In the use of Jahn ('Dare, charged with maliciously shooting at Lieutenant Rosenberg, the jury, after being absent more than an hour, returned into court, and, through their foreman, said, " We find the prisoner Guilty, but acquit him of the capital part of the charge." Mr. Baron Gassow addressed the jury. He told them that an the counts in the indictment against the prisoner were for the ca pital charge ; therefore their verdict must be not guilty, generally, or guilty of the capital offence. The Jury again retired, and they were locked up for about three hours more, at the end of which time they returned with a verdict of Not Guilty. • • CORONER'S INQUESTS. Yesterday evening an intioisitt was taken at the Acorn public house, Upper Tbarnes.street, before William Payne, EAT the City Coroner, on view of the body of James Smith, aged 55, a carman in the employ of Messrs. Johnson and Co. coal-merchants, of Hone-shoe Wharf. Mr. John Smith, the landlord of the Acorn, deposed, that Co Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, be was informed that a man had fallen into the river, at Horse-shoe Wharf. Witness in stantly repaired thither, and found a number of persons dragging I the river. Mr. Johnson who was present, gave directions for the removal of the craft, which were much in the way. This being accomplished the meb resumed their labour, and in a few minutes the body of the deceased was dragged up ; he was quite insensible, and no time was lost in conveying hint to the house in which they were assembled, where be was attended by a medical man. The deceased fell off a plank into the river whilst assisting to unload a barge. Mr. Philip Johnson, Surgeon, of Karl-street, attended the de ceased, whom he found in that house; after trying the usual resto ratives without the desired effect, he opened the windpipe, and in flated the lungs, but all to no purpose, the deceased being quite dead, and thoug hl he bad only been immersed about a quarter of an hour, the low temperature of the water was sufficient to cause death. Verdict—Accidentally drowned. It is a remarkable fact that a man named Wm. Daties, who was appointed by Mr. Johnson to succeed the deceased, was yesterday Imorning driving the same team of horses which the deceased pre viously drove, when the animals took fright in Piccadilly, and in endeavouring to arrest their progress, Davies was knocked down, and the wheels of the waggon passing over his body, crushed It ' completely flat, and killed him on the spot ! An Inquest was held at the White Swan, In Long-acre, on the body of Miss Ellen Kean Cooper Little,, aged 14. Mr. Marmch stated, that be lodged with deceased's mother, in Spur-street. On Friday night he accompanied her in a cabriolet, to visit a friend in Blackfriars.road, when she became very sick. He took her into a pastry-cook's shop, but finding her getting worse, be conveyed her home in a hackney-coach ; but her extremities soon became cold, and though medical assistance was procured, she expired in a few hours. A Surgeon stated, that she died of apoplexy, and the Jury returned a verdict—Natural Death. Monday afternoon an Inquisition was taken before J. H. Go, Esq. at the Coachmakers' Arms, Beigrave Mews, Grosvenor-place, on the body of William Parton, aged 45, who came by his death in the foUowing dreadful manner John West, of No, 5, Broad-street, Golden-square, stated that the deceased was a plumber. On Friday afternoon last 'deceased. and witness were at work at the Countess of Powktt's, In Pica! dilly. The deceased ascended a ladder to repair • sk ylight over the passage, and while placing a board across it, be leaned upon one of the bars, which broke and he fell through it into the passage. His body struck against the top of a door which was open in the passage. The deceased bled profusely, and appeared to be dread fully injured—he was immediately conveyed-to the hospital. By the C,oaostra.—He was a very heavy man, and weighed nearly 16 stone. It was not workmanlike for him to lean as he did on the board across the skylight. The accident was entirely his own fault. Mr. Wm. Heley Good, house surgeon of St. George's Hospi tal. stated that the deceased was brought in about half-past three o'clock on Friday last, he was nearly dead. and on examination there did not appear to be the slightest hope of his recovery ; all his ribs on the left side were broken in several places, and the ribs on the right side were also fractured, and protruded into the lungs. His skull was also severely fractured, and the brain much injured. He expired from the injuries on the following day, about three o'clock. Verdict—" Accidental Death." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.

A gentleman named Cook, charged the prisoner Waters with conspiring with Parkes, who is in custody in Surrey fur swindling tradesmen at Windsor, to obtain possession of a house situate is the ltlbany Terrace, tegent's Park. Parkes and the female pri soner got possession of the house ; she thee loused as the wife of Parkes. Waters was the referee, and he described himself as a wine -merchant, and Parkes as a gentleman of fortune. Parke made a moonlight fli ght, and defrauded the whole neighbourhood. Mr.. Sep, a tailor, charged the prisoner Waters with defrauding him of a pair of trousers sad a suit of black. The servant-of the prosecutor was ordered not to leave the clothes at the prisoner's house in' Stamford-street without the money, but be was induced by plausible promises and false repres..ntations to par t with them. Mr. Groom, a tradesman, stated that Waters obtained from him goods, value .C 9 15*. by promising to pay on delivery. The Magistrate intimated his determination of committing the male prisoner for trial on the case of Mr. Rap ; but as tbsto was a probability of other charges of a similar nature being preferred, he should remand him until next Tuesday, and by that time the pub licity given would have the effect of bringing others 'steward against him.

Mr. put a stop to the conversation, and recommended the ponies to lay aside their irritated feelings. He added that he theeglit Mr. Phillips had been actuated by the best motives detaughillet the affair. Mr. Phillips observed that at least one-third of the documents before the Magistrates had been furnished by him. Mr. Haul said that was perfectly true; and he hoped that the parties would retire from that room with a thorough conviction upon their minds that everything bad been done b y _ the Magistrates to bring the busioess to a satisfactory issue. There was oce remark which be was desirous of making, that it be maturely considered by the gentlemen of the medical profes- sion, whether the mystery which bad been attributed to this case had not arisen from the peculiar nature of the poison. It was well known that the effects produced by opium were subject to a variety of changes, and that it not only operated differently on op. posits constitutions, but alma varied in its effects when taken at different seasons o f year or periods of the day. By an admix,. cure of opium and verjuice, the quality of the former became so altered, that its effect could net possibly be known • and it was mutter for the consideration of medical men, whether senna and opium might not produce the very same results. Senna was one of the ingredients in the medicine taken by the unfortunate lady. Mr. Snow s But there was no opium mixed in that medicine. Mr. HALLS (without seeming to notice this interruption) added, that he wished the medical profession to consider the effects of senna and opium, which, as far as his knowledge eatended, migbt be illustrated by whet lawyers Galled " the keeping of an operation in abeyance." Mr. Churchill begged to say that the medical gentlemen were very far from wishing to avoid a legal inquiry; out the contrary, the investigation had originated with them. Mr. Hain proceeded to distribute the papers with which Sir R. Brame and himself had been furnished; and in the first place, banded to Mr. Snow the brief which had been used by Mr. Adolphus. Mr. Phillips : Mr. Snow, give you ten guineas for that brief. Mr. Snow": I'll have nothing to do with you, sir. Mr. Phillips : take care you sha'nt'. Mr. Cox said that a most important document furnished by Mr. Scott had not been delivered back. Mr. Haus said he did not recollect to have seen the paper al luded to, and Sir H. Bums was equally unconscious of •such a paper having been furnished. Mr. Cox said that the document in question was a most im portant document, as it contained the testimony of Ann Anderson, who stated that, when the matter was tint agitated, she was sent up to town to be out of the way, and cautioned against answer ing questions. Mr. Phillips denied this, and declared that this individual was at all times ready to answer any question that might be put to her. Mr. Cox said the papers had been left In the clerk's dice at seven o'clock on Wednesday night. In addition to the evidence of Ann Anderson, the same paper also contained the statements of Ann Ward and Mrs. Bassett. Mr. Vine, the clerk, said that be bad banded the papers deli vered by_ Mr. Cox to Ste R. Bums, by wbom they wete forwarded to Mr. HALLS. Mr. Hato said, however, that he had not seen them. A discussion here took place, as to whether, if the documents alluded to were re-furnished, the Magistrates would reconsider the matter, and the Magistrates having consented to do this, copies of them were handed in by Mr. Cox. Mr. Phillips asked if it was to be understood that the perusal of these papers was to have the effect either of leaving the case as it was before, or of inducing them to adopt another line of conduct? Mr. Haiti said the Magistrates would finally determine the matter the next day, and those who thought it might attend. Mr. Phillips offered to hand back to Mr. Halls his papers, but Mr. Hau.s declined to receive them, saying he bad no occasion to re-peruse them, and that if they were required, he dared my Mr. Phillips would not hesitate to give them up. Mr. Phillips replied that he certainly would not, as it was his wish that the whole of the documents should be made public. Mr. HA/J.l said, if he found it necessary to send for the papers, he should do so • neither would he hesitate to send for the person of Mr. Phillips himself, if required. After some further conversation. the case was adjourned until tomorrow. MAELBOROUG H-STREET. Mrs. Mary Stubbs, a lady of tontine, residing at 89, Sloane street, was brought before Mr. CONANT, charged with having practised a novel species of robbery. The fair prisoner, it was stated, went into the shop of Mrs. Van begets, a pastry-cook, at Sit, St. Martin's -court, on Monday even ing. and whenever Mrs. Vanliagen's head was turned from her, she hastily swallowed a fruit tart. She remained in the shop half an hour, and during that time a gentleman observed her devour seven or eight tarts. She was at length preparing to quit the shop, after paying for three halfpenny buns, when it was suggested that she should be searched, and five twopenny cakes were then found upon her, all of which she abstracted from the counter. Her purse contained three sovereigns and some silver, and a quantity of apples and pears, of a superior quality, were also taken from bet, which, it appeared, must have been stolen from the shop of a fruiterer, named Norton, in Covent-garden, where the prisoner had called the same afternoon and selected au assortment of pears at lid. per dozen, for which she promised to send one of her servants on the following day, but she did not pay for anything. About eighteen months ago the prisoner went to the shop of Mr• Nichols, a pastry-cook, in Piccadilly, where she was ob served to conceal nine cakes under ber shawl, h viog previously paid twopence for two buns. Mr. Nichols, on shaking her shawl, caused the cakes to fall on the floor, but on that occasion he per mitted her to depart with an admonition. The prisoner, it was added, was well known at the Bazaars, which she frequented in company with a Lady, who appeared to be her sister ; they were frequently customers at the confectioners at the West End of the town for small quantities of pastry. The prisoner asseverated her innocence, and hoped an exposure would not ensue, as her daughter was eminent for her literary attaiqments. Mr. Comas: thought the prisoner's rank in life aggravated her offence, and fully committed ber for trial, the parties having been bound over to prosecute. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday George Atka', of Sandend, Fulham, was charged with having a private still on his premises. Two Excise Officers proved that they went to the defendant's house, and OH the premises they found a private still, and also a quantity of British spirits, which they seized. The defendant was fined in the penalty of £3O, which sum being unable to pay, he was committed for three months to the House of Correction to hard labour. DIZU.
