CHAPTER OF CLOAKS; • • COMIC 110)10, SUNG BY MR. WOULDS, AT VAUXHAT.I.; - cobtrOsim Cr MR. BLIIMITT. 41/1. When I canto to town lately, I found, 'ds no joke, Young and old, men and women, each wearing a cloak; So tbinkt I, I will e'en ♦o as other folks do, To be in the fashion I'll have a cloak, too ! Tut de nal, Lkc.

For ia.i Of the Lawyer, ob, dear! acerb the Devil! t Till de rol, &c. THE NEW LICENSING BILL. In the Committee upon this Bill alterations have been proposed, and in all probability will be adopted, which will be likely to meet the approbation of all parties interested. The most unremitted attention has been given to all the clauses, and so many objections were started to the most important of them, that it is Confidently believed by the Committee that a measure as perfect as can be expected will be submitted next Session to the House of Commons, instead of one which would be likely to interfere with the interests of the community in a considerable degree. The first 'clause in the Bill which received general condemnation in the Committee was the following And be it further enacted, that every person so applying (for a licence) shall serve notice of such his intention upon the Rector, Vicar, or Curate, and upon the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor, and upon the Constable, Tithiiignsan, or other Peace Officer," &c. was considered by the Committee something like oppression, to subject persons who might Venture their property in the trade, to the annoying process described in the clause. This part of the Bill is to be rejected altogether in the Re port. The clause which compels the Clergyman to in quire into the conduct - of the candidate, and to ascertain whether or not he is a fit and proper person to be en trusted with a licence, has also undergone general con demnation. It is thought that other persons in the neigh bourhood, may be as well qualified to decide upon such a point as the Clergy man. The business of informers will be reduced, for the temptation to inform will, it is said, be altogether done away with. The hour mentioned in the Bill now before the Committee, will be considerably extended, and in the power to be given to the Magis tratrs, care will be taken to prevent the operation of any undue influence. Several attempts were made in the Committee to insert in the report a recommendation to the House to throw open the trade altogether, but they were met with the most decided opposition by a very great majority, and it is certain that there will be no recommendation to that effect. The labours of the Committee have been much greater than it was sup. posed they would be. Mr. E.tcpurt has more than once expressed his surprise at the information which a d-putation of Licensed Victualer: who waited upon him on the subject of the Bill, conveyed to him, and on the ability with which they opposed the obnoxious clauses. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF OF EXCHEQUER, Jute 5. THE KING V. TREGONING AND OTHERS. This cue originated in a seizure, under an extent, of a large quantity of calico goods, found on the pre mises of Samuel Goold, one of the defendants. Part of these goods wete now claimed by Tregoning as being sent by him to Goold, for the purpose of having them printed. Ms. PLATT, for the defendant, said, that the question was one snore of law than of fact, and that after the leading features were ascertained, the better course would be to consent to a verdict fur the Crown, and re set vg the law of the case for the subsequent considera tion of the Coto t. The Act of Parliament authorised the seizure for the debt of all goods and commodities, in respect whereof any duty of - excise is by law imposed, in case such goods are found on the premises of the King's debtor. On the part of Tregoning, it was in sisted shit the pieces of calico belonging to him did not answer the above descsiption, inasmuch as they had not, I whet se zed, reached that state when the excise duty attached ; the duty became payable when the calico was printed and stamped, and not befete ; and it was therefore contended, that the calico in question, not having been printed or stamped, could not be regarded si at goods or commodities, in respect whereuf any duty of excise is by law imposed." Mr. CLzac, for the Crown, consented to the course proposed by the defendant's Counsel, and admitted that egoning was not himself indebted to his Majesty; he also admitted that the calico was seized for a debt due by Goold, who was a calico printer for hire, and not a. manufacturer. The Learned Gentleman then, in order to shell the mode in which the duty is collected on calico, called James Smith, an Excise-officer, who said that the calico pieces, when first brought to the printer's, are shewn to the officer, and by him mat ked. The length, breadth, and quality of the goods are at the same time entered in a book. This the witness considered to be the foundation of the duty, although the amount of the duty was not calcul'ied until the piece► were printed. l irs'ea..e the calico.printer did not, when tailed on by the Escise.oiicer, eshib:t to him any pieces origiiiall% at irked, the duty was charged on thew as if for printed p.eces, but the charge would be aftel wards remitted, on the production or them in an unfinished state.

POST 071101 ROBSIRIES. James Sineking, aged 40, a letter•sorter, stood in dicted for stealing, on the 9th.day of January, a letter, containing a five-pound Bank of England note, and a I one pound note, which had come into his possession as a letter sorter at the General Post-office. He was fur ther charged with stealing a letter torn a person em• ployed in the Post-office, to which the prisoner (by ad vice of his solicitor) pleaded " guilty:' There was a third indictment, but no evidence was offered on it, nor on the first, in consequence of the plea of guilty to the minor charge. Gwen Dasntry, who was yesterday tried, was put to the bar.—Mr. (Away said that every search had been made for the witness Linden, who bad yesterday ab• seated himself, but without elrect. He therefore could not safely proceed with the trial of another indictment. — Mr. Baron HULLOCK ordered the prisoner to be detain ed until the next Session. MANSLAUGHTER. Was. Broadway, aged 26, was indicted for the man slaughter of John Broadway, his brother, on the 29th of April. It appeared that the prisoner had been struck by the deceased, which produced a fight; and on the interference of other persons to separate them, the pri soner struck the deceased with a rake, which caused his death a week afterwards,--Yerdict, Not Guilty, on the ground of the prisoner having acted in self defence. PORORRY. Henry Hilliard, aged 50, was indicted for uttering a forged bill of exchange for 671. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecution, and called several witnesses, i the particulars of whose evidence have recently appeared in the public prints. Mr. Baron HULLOCIL said it would not be proper to put the prisoner on his defence on the evidence adduced. It was proved that the bill was a forgery; but there was no proof that the prisoner bad not been imposed upon, or that he knew the bill to be forged at the time he uttered it. The Jury accord. ingly acquitted the prisoner. Comehut Driscoll and Andrew Morgan were indicted for forging and uttering a forged will, purporting to be the will of John M.Donald, a seaman. The pri soners were acquitted. NEW COURT. The Raccusoza sat in this Court until one o'clock, when he retired, and the vacant seat on the bench was Ailed by Mr. Sergeant ARAZIN. William Hopkinson, a young man of genteel appear ance, and whose fam ily was stated to be highly respect. able, was placed at the bar on a charge of embezzling an order for the payment of a sum of 191. which he had received for, and on the account of, his employer, Mr. John Richards, who was a lioendraper, carryiqg on business in Oxford-street. The following witnesses were called by Mr.Cmatnuts PHILLIPS, to support the prosecution : Mr. John Richards stated, that on the 14th Aug. last, the prisoner entered into his service for a probationary term, previous to becoming an apprentice. He continued with him till the 29th of March last, during which time he had always considered him as excessively stupid, and could never learn to make the private mark. The witness had, however, been in the habit of sending him out to collect money. The prisoner bad obtained the 191. from a Miss Cormick, to whom he had applied without anthority. That Lady Frigid him the money, for which he had never accounted. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Witness bad reason to know that the prisoner's parents were respect able. They resided at Doncaster, where the prisoner was apprehended after the robbery was discovered. Miss Cormick was next called. She resided in Beau mont-street. A person called on her from Mr. Richards for payment of her account, stating that Mr. Richards wanted the money, and had directed him to call for it. The amount of the bill was 201. Is. 3d. from which the discount was deducted on payment. The amount, when the discount was deducted, was 191. for which witness gave a check on Messrs. Coutts and Co. She could not tell whether the prisoner was the person to whom she had made this payment, nor whether the receipt pro duced, which was given when the money was .paid, was ia his handwriting. MG Richards, on being recalled, proved this receipt to.be the prisoner's handwriting. A clerk from Messrs. Conics and Co. proved the payment of the check; but could not swear that the prisoner was the person who presented it. The prisoner said nothing in his defence; and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of...Galiity. The RECORDER then proceeded to pass sentence. . After remarking on the nature of the offence, and the disgi ace which the prisoner by his conduct had brought on his respectable family and friends, he said the sen tence of the Court was, that he should be transported beyond the seas for a term of 14 years. Jacob Parker, who was yesterday convicted of steal ing 21 chaldrons of coals, was this morning brought up to the bar, and sentenced to 7 years transportation. Joshua White, and two others named Grant, stood indicted, the former for stealing, and the two latter for receiving, a quantity of oats, the property of Mr. St. John, the proprietor of the Fleece, at Edmonton. A number of witnesses were called for the prosecution, who fully proved the charge against White and Grant the younger. No evidence, however, was given, that in the least implicated the elder Grant, who was accordingly acqui ted. The two former were found Guilty, and the younger Grant was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, during which time he was to be kept to hard labour. Joshua White was again placed at the bar, with a person named Ske. The same party was the prosecutor, who in this case complained of having been robbed of about th:ee bushels of oats. White, as in the former , case, was charged with the ro . rbes y. and Slee as having received the goods, knowirg them to have been stolen. Many witne,es having fully p ove.l the facts, the pri soners were found Guilty, when White was sentenced to . seven years' transportation, and :files to six months' im prisonment with hard labour. Charles Chambers was placed .t the bar, charged with having stolen six guns, valued at 405.; a gun-barrel, .• • • e valued at 41.; and ore h'rndred and twenty rods, valued at 30s. the property of Messrs, L•tcy and Whitton, gun-makers. in Ferichurch-street. The pri soner was what is termed in the trade, a chamber, or gar ret-master, whose business it was to finish off those guns that were placed in their h Inds in the rough state. It was usual for those per s-ns to take the guns home to their own houses. In the present case the prisoner had been employed by Messrs. Lacy and Whitton, and had taken a number of gun. to his house, some of which he had detained, upon which the present indictment was founded. The robbery was proved by several witnesses. The prisoner, in his defence, only said that he was; innocent of the charge, and called many witnesses, who spoke very highly of his character from the time of his infancy to the present day. Mr. Sergeant Musts having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner ; but recommended him to mercy, on account of the excel lent character he appeared to have borne previous to the present offence. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jvw S. BURGLARS IN MASQUERADE. JoAn Thompson, James Cook, and John Hinton, were indicted for a conspiracy to rob the house of Robert Gibson, Esq. in Torrington-square ; and the indictment further charged that two of them, Hinton and Thomp son, had gone to the house attired as females, and that they had implements for housebreaking in their posses. sion.—The prisoners appeared in their ordinary dresses, it not bring deemed necessary to compel their appear ance in the female habiluments which they had assumed for the purpose of the robbery. Mr. Am.'s stated the case, which, he said, was one to which, in the whole course of his experience, he had met with no parallel. S.srah Blackburn—ls servant to Mr. Gibson, of No. 15, Torrington-square. On Sunday three weeks, during the time when Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, and the rest of the family were attending Divine Service, the prisoner Cooke, dressed in his proper attire, knocked at the door, and inquired if Captain Mackey lived there? She told him she knew no such person, and he replied " That is very strange; this is Mr. Gibson's, is it not ?" She an swered it was, and he went away. About ten minuts s afterwards, a double knock was given at the door, which she answered, and found Hinton and Thompson at the door dressed as ladies, and having their faces concealed by a thick veil, thrown over their fashionable I Leghorn bonnets. The prisoner Hinton inquired if Mrs. Gibson was at home ? witness said she was not, end be asked when she would return ? and expressed an in tention of walking in and waiting. She told him she was instructed not to allow persons who were un known to her, to enter the house in the absence of the family, and requested they would call again. They whispered together for a few minutes, after which Thompson said, "No, we'll step in and wait, Mrs. Gib son can't be long." As he said this he stepped forward, and from his gait she was led to suspect he was not a female; she in consequence peeped under his veil, and seeing a thick black beard on his upper lip, she felt con vinced they had come fora bad purpose, and, pushing him from the door, called out " Thieves! murder l"- The two prisoners Hinton and Thompson instantly ran away, and as she followed them with her eye, she saw Cook running in the same direction. They were all apprehended and brought back, without her losing sight of them.—John Brown was passing near the spot at the time, and hearing the screams of the last witness, jei in the pursuit of the prisoners, one of whom he appre: headed, and found on-his person two turnscrews, a large bag, and several housebreaking implements. Win. Taylor apprehended Cook, whom he saw run ning in the direction of the other prisoners. Thos. Elliot produced a pistol, which he saw Thomp son, when running away, Ring Mo the area of Mr. Rice's house, in the square." He also produced some tools, which he saw dropped by the prisoner Cook. The prisoner Thompson undertook, on their being called on for their defence, to act as spokesman, and told a long story. The CHAIRMAN summed up,- and the Jury, without hesitation, found all the three prisoners Guilty. The COURT sentenced them each to two years im prisonment, and to be kept to hard labour. PRIZE FIGHTS. Charles Walbourne and 'biomes Wylie, two of the mirror pugilistic heroes, were indicted for a riot, in having assembled for the purpose of getting up a prize fight, on the 10th of April, and for having assailed the officers who were dispatched by the Mary-la-bonne Police Magistrates to prevent the occurrence. It ap peared, that from the complaints made, as to the de scription of persons resorting to the fights which were continually taking place within the remote limits of the jurisdiction of the Mary-la-bonne Office, the Ma gistrates had determined on preventing their recur rence, and accordingly, having heard of a projected fight on Old Oak Common, Gibbs and Webster, and a posse of constables, were dispatched to the spot._ They found upwards of 1000 persons assembled, and the defendants acting as regulators of the proceedings, to whom, therefore, they announced their business ; the fight was instantly stopped, and the motly grave, thinking by a change of the scene to balk the officers, pitched the stakes, and moved off for Rush Commor‘i %hither, in pursuance of their instructions, the officers" followed, and again interpoied their authority. This was more than the Fancy were disposed to bear, and a shower of stones and other missiles were poured in upon the officers. who were obliged to retire without accomplishing their object. The defendants were sworn to as having been active in this affray. Verdict—Guilty. The Citatastatt then sentenced Charles Walbourne to four months, and Thomas Wylie to three months imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL John Downey was charged with stealing a wedding ring from a poor Irish woman in Fleet-street, on Monday evening, 'bent eight o'clock. He asked her if she bad been to the fair, and catching hold of her hand, drew off the finger the ring, which fitted but loosely. She screamed, and laid hold of his coat, upon which he struck her, and tore off her bonnet, and threw it into the road. He was, however, seized, and searched, but the ring could not be found. She valued it at eighteen shillings. He asserted that she was an old acquaintance, who had drank with him frequently, and that hefted not touched the tMg. She on the contrary declared she never saw hint before he made this attack upon ha. There was not a witness on either side. _ .

The prisoner dead any knowledge of the robbery. Sir R. Brash observed that the robbery was one of a very creel nature, and he certainly should leave it to a Jury to decide upon the guilt or innocence of the prisoner as a participator in the crime. The prisoner was fully committed to Newpte for uial QUEENAQU A RR. Yesterday Mr..Eimperd Hudson Treadattay, charged wkh the murder of his wife, who had been remanded since Saturday by OnoatanWmantrom Mesmer, Esq. in erd :a to await the tenth of the Coroner's Inquest, was again brought to this office. The unfuno. nate man was in deep mourning, and wore crape about his hat ; he appeared in the deepest state of agitation. Pople, one of the tune keys of Tothili.&lds prison, presented the Coroner's warron to Mr. Maaatotr, for the committal of the prisoner to Newpte, the Jury having returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against the psi.

MARY-LA-BONNE. __ _ Yesterday Margaret Higgins, Ektrear Commee, &Jay Lougfevold, Owefine ffefross, and 011Atriseo Mammy, peeper girls belonging to SR.

They, therefore, began to ill treat him a week ago, threatbned to beat him daily as long as the other girls ro maimed in prima, and to butcher him if he became a witness ,toast 'them. Their conduct was every, day more violent ; and on Monday they beat him on his head with two large beer cans, for which they were locked up in the strong room, where they broke forg ave squares of glass, tore down the linings of the door, and so In operated upon a wall two bricks and a half thick, that in a few minutes, if it had not been discovered, they would have made a way through.
