It having been insinuated by Sir William Leighton that he intends to resign his gown as Alderman of Bil lingsgate Ward, a meeting of the inhabitants was held yesterday at Butchers' Ball, for the purpose ul consider ing of a proper peril" to be put in nomination to suc ceed Sir W. Lei ;hton. Mr. E. HANSON, the Deputy, opened the inI3:IICSS of the day by stating the intention of Sir W. Leighton to resign at the next Court of Aldermen. In consequence of this intimation, the Chairman said, that he and the remainder of the Common Council of the and had felt it their duty to call a meeting of the inhabitants to con sult as to a fit and proper person to represent them in the Court of Aldermen. His brother inhabitants, lie trusted, would only have to look about themselves, and not have occasion to go beyond the Ward for a representative. Mr. T, HEARSAY proposed Mr. Anthony Brown, whose long services as a Common Councilman, anti experience in the business of the Ward, peculit.rly qua lified him for the situation, as did his fortune and cha racter. Mr. 11. POWER Seconded the motion. Mr. Print said, he did not t. i:.11 to oppose Mr. Brown, who, he believed, if chosen, would, as a magistrate, a sheriff, and a mayor, do honour to the %Van'. The speaker said, he could have wished to have had Mr. Fa y, II for his Alderman; but under the present circum stances, he should not oppose Mr. Drown. After some further observation, the question was put and carried unanimously. An inhabitant moved, that the thanks of the meeting should be given to the Deputy and Common Council rip the Ward, for calling an open and public meeting to commit upon a proper person, instead of followhig ex amples recently set of the Deputy choosing his Alder man, instead of the Alderman choosing his Deputy. The practice of a junta dictating to the Ward ought to be discountenanced. The motion was carried unanimously, when, after sonic further proceedings, he meeting separated.

Murray, the solicitor to the above society, was re fused to be elected, in pursuance of the following resolution : IttAolvea,Tliat this meeting views with disgust and indignation the formation of a society, arrogantly pretending to protect the constitution, but really intended to impair its proinltsa safeguard, by controlling the press to ministerial subservience; thus mis chievously, Likely, and libellously assuinini, , that the government is so lost to the confidence and obedience of the people, and the Attorney General so deficient in vigilance and ability, that neither the increased powers given to the limner by the recent rest;tive acts, nor the excercise by ►he latter of the questionable p of proceeding by e.r elide inionnation, are capt.ble ot . ,•str-itaug the supposed licenuouvne , s of the pm,, withont :,,e interference of those hungry sateV'tes of ismer.

THE KING V. lIANSON. The court wascalled on in this case to decide whether any appeal lay to the cour t of sessions against a convici' ny two magistrates, upon information charging the. m de fendant with selling beer and ale without two licces. The Judgcs decided, that the4Bth of George the Tait d gave no appeal, and confirmed the conviction. THE KING V. JOS. GLOSSOP. Mr. Scarlett shoved cause against a rule obtained by Marryatt to quash the cernoreiri in this case, anu set aside ail the proceedings for removal of this cause into the Court of King's Bench. Tue debaidaut, one of Me proprietors of the Cohnrg-theat re, was convicted by the Surrey malfistrates, upon informer lout charging hint with performing dramattc pieces, contrary to the terms of his licence. The question was, whether the cediorari ought to be quashed ? It svas stated, that no notice of the cerliorad had been Riven to the co evicting magistrate, as requited I,y the act of the 13th of George 11. Mr. Madryatt was heard in support of the rule. Mr. Casbard, who was also heard on the same side, took a new otijection. lle stated that the return made to the cern:mai was not under iheseal of the ma: 6 istrates, as directed by the terms of the writ, and consequently it was irreaular. Tice Court upon looking at the return, discovered that it was not made under seal, therefore it was vrebillar. Tire Court fitl3lly allowed the rule to be enlarg ed, for the purpose of getting the ieturti amended. T he ques tion or removal consequently remains for luither discussion. THURSDAY, MAY 24. THK KING V. TURNER. The defendant appeared to plead to an ind;ctment charging hint with publishing a scandalous and seditious libel. Having pleaded not guilty, he was told that the trial would conic on in the slitingi acier ierm. 167 dignity of Queen made it inconsistent for her to co HC into court with an affidavit as a common subject ; I u' if the court required it, her Majesty would be rea y to make the alli.lavit. Tue lion. and learnedgentiensau contended that the rule (main to be made uhvolute. Mr. Denman supported the arg 1111 l ent of Mr. Bro,vahatn, and added, that her Majesty bad eklusire rights, being recoAttisA as a limit sole. Tue Court held this to be an inn (main question, and intimated that they should take time to consider their decision. SIERRA V. SMITH. Mr. I)minan moved to discharge the defentlantont of cuito !y of the Marshal of this Court. It appeared that the platimff had hrousht his action agaiost the tle•em dant, and that he agreed, after the man w Is in custody, to take security for 5001. the amount of the debt. The 3110 'nil , fur the plaintiff claiming a lien on the suits two. I . ei.,Me, on account of his costs, refused to consent to Lute deft , ',dam's discharge, and the question was, whether he could detain hint in custody after the plaintiff had tee,: tumefied. :%1 - . Denman con;cnded, that the attorney could have on the person of the defendant, atstl that he not to be held in custody. Reader, on behalf of the attorney, argued that a .• had been practiced on his client, who was demi . itis costs by collusion of the parties, and he thert.- -ouuti Led that the court ought not to discharge the ..,!ant. ..ic Judges delivered their opinions seriatim, and held witoney in such a case could not keep the de nt custody. The lien he had in respect of costs, ue supported by application to tire Court, calling • ..etu to order the suns for which the security was • to he subject to his claim. There was no prin . n r lit law which justified the detention of the defen ',alit at the suit of the plaintiff, after the plaintiff had taken security and declared the debt satisfied. The rule to discharge the defendant out of custody was made absolute. A GAYLNG•HOUSE BESIEGELL—An affair which oc curred a few evenings since at a gaming house in St. James's, has occasioned much stir and inquiry at Marl borough -street Police-office. Information was laid at the office by persons who had lost money at play, and were otherwise dis .ppointed. These persons undertook to assist the officers in getting into the house, by open ing the first floor windows, as the house was so barri. called that it was im,:ossible for them to get in by the regular entrance. The whole of the officers, with an additional force of constables, assembled near the house at the appointed hour, with ladders in reserve. The striking of S.. James's clock was the signal for attack, when some persons within were to throw up the sashes. The ladders for scaling being brought, the watchman on the beat gave an alarm, and all was spoiled. The watchmen in his defence states, that he did not know but the patty were about to commit a robbery, as they were strangers to him. Tile managers of the gaming house voluntarily attended before the magistrates upon one of the inquiries in o the conduct of the watchman, who was, they urged, doing his duty. They said it was a house for play, and they had no objection to admit a police officer at any time, but they dui not chose to hare the house plundered by a mob. '!were was 4,0001. in the bank, and that was too much for a scramble. Here the affair rests. ONE LAW FOR THE RICH AND ANOTHER FOR THE Poo the last session oh Parliament a bill was passed entitled ' An Act for the summary punishment, tti certain cases, of rrsons wilfully or maliciously dsnia. ging or committing trespasses on public or private pro. petty.' 4nno ihi,mo (a bad specimen of what is to hap pen) Geor6ii IV. Regis, cap. A. In this act it is provided that' if any person shall wilfully or maliciously commit any damage, injury, or spoil, upon any building, fence, hedge, gale, stile, guide-post, milestone, tree, wood, un derwood, orchard, garden, nursery-wound, crops, vege. tables, plants, land, ur other matter or thing crowing on or being thereon, or to or upon real or personal property of any nature or kind whatsoever, he may be immediately seized by anybody, without a warrant, taken before a magistra.e, and hoed, (accorditig to the mischief he has done) to the extent of five pounds; or in detault or pay ment, may be committed to the gaol for three months.' And at the end comes a clause, exempting from the ope rations of this Act all mischief done by hunting and (1 shooters who ore qualified ! This is surely the most ill.- linden t piece tat leAislation that ever crept into the stainte hook ; and, coupled with Mr. Justice ll.si's declaratioo, constitutes the inllowing of relation between the different orders of society :—Says the higher link to the lower. If you meddle with my game, I will inue• diately murder you ; if ye u commit the slightest injury upon my real or p rsonal property, 1 will take you he:ore a magistrate, anti flue you live pounds. 13111 in Parlid. anent, you are not; and 1 have just brought in an Act of Parliament for . oat purpose. Ilut so important is it to you that toy pleasures shoutl not be interrupted, that have exempted myself and triends from the oper at on of this Act; and we claim the right (without allowing you any such sulillilisrV of riding over your fenc t t ed y es, gate!, soles, genie lasts, 11111CSIoneS, woods, mitier%voods, orchards, gardens, iiiiisery-grounds, crops, vegetables, plant!, Idllllll, or other matters or 116111116r0w. ing or temig therenpoii—nielinlintr, your chili:reit and youtselve-, if you do not get out of the way.'
