He on ThuNday morning sent a si•pcuee to a baker's shop in the neighbourhood for sonic rolls, the baker refitted to take it, even though the Mint impression upon it was visible. H❑ wished now to know from the %lagistratt' if there was no mode of punishing him 1114 refusal. If there was not, he ohserscd,it would be better for him to abut up shop at once, and go to the parish, since it was no use his taking money which he could not afterwards get rid of. The Magistrate, oil looking over the Acts of Parliament on the 'object, regretted that he had no potter of assiting the com plainant, though he considered the person who refuses to take the money as much to blame. The complainant thco ',wired whether, if he had taken the rot • and left the six pence, he should hive been guilty of an illegal act.
