The witness having agebecoindsAt suspields. tailwind the purchaser, why bad previously said he was going to Paddington, but the route he took-was not 'tartly in •that direetion. The l' strtieger had rot gone very far towards St. Oars's. when he area joined by the defendant, and both of them passed through St Oiles's toge ther, and by a short cut into Oxford-street, where•therentered a public-house: they soon came our. proceeded 40 Charles street, when they entered another, public-house.

All he knew was, that the man they -talked about was a very respectable men. with whom he had ' Igraine& for a pony. end Whom lie had appointed to meet at the public-house in Oxford-street.

He appeared very respect • able. • • - • • Here the LORD VIATOR and Mr. Nobler consulted, and in the mean time the defendant spontaneously said—"..Some notes • have pissed through my hands that were paid to me by a re speetablepohlican in Barbican. It is said that they are stolen and they refuse to pay me the amount: but I'll set the matter at rest by suing for the amount." The LORD MAYOR put the note Into the Marshal's custody, and permitted the defendant to leave the 'Justice - room. • -[ We withhold the name of the defendant at present, for reasons which may easily be understood.] Oct LDlJAl.L.—Aielltoxy Rogeson, the black fencing-mas ter and pugilist, whose previous examination on the charge .of setting tireto the premises in the court at No. 76, Fleet Street, appeared in our paper of Wednesday, was again .broughemp yesterday before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Alderman IflßCii. Mr. Swan, the 'owner of the premises, being called 'moots to. proceed•with hie case, observed, that he had been .no less than three times visited by the calavoity, of lire, and 'regretted to be now called on in his old age, on account ..ot a. similar visitation, to proceed on so serious a charge Affecting the life of the prisoner: for himself lie had no .evidence to give: he left the premises at six o'clock in the .e.veni og.• arta. heard nothing of the.occurrence tin ten the nest morning, and could therefore prove nothing but .what could be better. and more clearly proved by others.— Mr. Swan was proceeding with some observations tending to shew his feeling for the prisoner, when he was inter rupted. by the Alderman, who observed that whatever he (Mr. Swan) might wish to say in 'mercy to the prisoner must be reserved for another occasion. The charge was of a most serious nature, and c.ust be-proceeded with. William Do wo, the apprentice, was then called. ' Do you know at what hoar the prisoner tektite premises on Monday evening. • Witness:—l stood on the stairs, and saw him go out with a woman between seven and eight o'clock; he was talking very loud, and I heard him say.

Some of these witnesses also deposed, that after hating been to look for the prisoner at. his lodging, and the different OMM-houses in the neighbearlsood, they at length found; him nearly opposite the court as if reron 'mitring, and that lie himself acknowledged that he bad been walking about for utmost au hour. • • Mr. Alderman tit actt.—lias the key-of the prisoner% room- been found at all ? • • 'i• - ' *.:.• •-• : • , Cousin.

Bow STRECT.—Yesterday Mr. Jews .Bolf, a hay mim es/I- at; toaddington, appeared before Sr 'lt. lliststa t to wastmels4is information preferrettagainst him by Meows. Davey and Kruse, of Chelsea, coal merchants, for selling 86 trusiee of straw, the inside of which trusses was of inferior quality totter entside;contrary to the statute. , The Solicitor for the defendant took two' objectieiss Ira &tine to the information : the first was, that the venue was laid In Middlesex only, whereas it ought to have been ": Middlesex and Westminster," the offence being alleged to have taken place in Westminster, apt that city having separate temmiasion of the peace; the wood was, that in describing the offence, it was stated to:bave been com mitted "in the Hiymarket, within the city of . Westminster." ;New there was no hatmarket within the.-City Of West. minter, It being without the city, although within 'the liberty. After It remark or two from the iolielter,fie die corn. plainants, Sir R. BIGWIG said he knew that the "sedan boundary lof the city of Westminster was a gate which was placed •aeross Parliament Street, near the present office of the Home Secretary of State, and the city consisted only of the -two , parishes of St. Margaret and St.'John ; all the test, as far as Oxford Stteet one way and Temple Bar the ether, having been added since, and called the liberty. He should, however, consider the, words " the city of" as surplusage, and it would then din " within Westminster," which he thought a sufficient description. With respect to the other objection,-Westminster was aeonsponent part of Middlesex, sad the magistrates at that office were in the commission for both the county and Ott. Hi over ruled bo th the objections. • • Ott .Hi witness called was a clerk tifiteWits* . Davey emdliruee, who stated that on' the 23d of SePtinther he, by desire 'of his employers, went to the HaYmarket to purchase some hay and straw. He bargained with the defendant for 36 trusses of straw, at 46.5., the latter aesnring him that all the trusses were as good throughout as they appeared outside ; adding, that he had been a salesman for 20 years, and would not take gin in, but 'deal with him like an bonourableman. They were deli vered at the Old Swan-wharf, Chelsea. and witness after. wards saw them, and found that they were not of the same quality inside as outside. One of the complainants said that some trusses were brought •to the office as specimens, and Sir It. titaNts desired they might be broogiterin. The first brought in sod opened did not appear at all to bear out thecomplai at. it seeming to be fair straw, although short. Mr. Ball, in a loud tone, desired his Worship to look well at it, and then say whether lie had acted l etiterwise thaa, in an he nourable manner. It was' ,be. added, all 'spite, , sad nothing eke. Another 'truss Was'llien brought in, and when opened, the inside appeared as though it had been taken from a danghill. It was completely black, and smelt most offensively. Mr. Ball did not call the particular attention of the magistrate to this truss. A oother clerk to Messrs. Davey and Kruse was then called, and stated, that he examined the straw when it was brought home, and finding the &stunts wet, he opened it, and saw that the inside was black, and it smelt badly. Others on examination appeared to be stuffed with old thatching : 35 out of the 36 were in this bad condition. Mr. James Towers, clerk in the Haymarket, also stated that Ise examined the straw, and found it in the condition described by the last witness. Most of them appeared to have been soaked through with wet, and others seemed to be stuffed with old thatch. They must have been in that state long previous to sale. Crosa-examined.—The damage in most of then; appeared to have arisen from inclemency ‘ vestu r t: The defendant's solicitor Oala,Ahlit such wan the fact, and no human means could Itivint straw from'spoiling on its way to market, if a heavy rain happened to fall. The complainants stated that. Mr. Ball lived, only at Paddington, and therefore the excuse would not avail. Sir R. BlRNlE—Liesidea, theraeller is responsible if be sells bad straw, even if he has bought it of another person beforehand, becauie it is his duty to examine it. (To the witness.) Must not the inside of these trusses, from the beginning, have been inferior to the wade ? iVitness—Certainly. It never wailike:the outside from the first. The defence set up was, that thitaigaw - wasiold as of in. terror quality. • 'Sir K Blame convicted the de-Wad:no le she pooalty awarded by the statute—namely, 1.. uposi each tress. A second information against the same defendant was then proceeded on for neglecting to mime the sale of the same straw in the market-books on the d,ay of sale, as. re gnited by the statute. This is a repletion established for the detection of any. persons who may offend by selling bad hay or straw.—The defendant was convicted in the penalty of al. ?A third information against him, for (on the same day,. and to the same person) selling 29 trusses of bay short of the legal weight, was quashed, on account of an info niality. Notice of appeal was given in the two first eases. HATTON GAGDlCN.—Yesterday the clerk to a solicitor; was broeglit op to this office for' final examination, on a charge of felony under the following circumstances:— , Mrs. Hardvineent, residing at Battle Bridge, and appa rently-upwards of forty. years old, stated, that on Monday evening last, about the hour of 7 o'clock, she was passing from Holborn through Gray's Ino,towards her house, when the prisoner accosted her in a very familiar manner. fur ing the whole of this conversation, the prisoner bad fast .hold of witness's left hand, and on his leaving his bold a ,guard to witness's wedding ring came off. Witness consi ,dering at the moment that the prisoner had wilfully got posseaNion of her property, seizei him, and called out for the teetch,mpon, which the prisoner knoelted witness down, .and ran away. The prisoner was pursued an.l taken, an t 'given into custody of Liusbrirk, of the above office. Wit ness added, that ou her return home, she found the ring in one of the folds of her gown, it having been pinned up. Mr. LAING—Do you believe that the prisoner intended to rob you? • • . Witness—l cannot ,sefa the riot is .rathe.r.too large, ; and might have come off on the prisoner shaking hinds with me. , The prisoner in a most solemn manner declared his inno cence. • ~ • . Mr. Lama said . , under the tintemataotes of the case, he should discharge the pisoner. .

MARLBOILOI7OII.IITREIri. William Clarke was yesterday placed at the bar, before Mr. Roe, the magistrate, at this office, charged oa .suspicion wish havine committed the following cruel.and unfeeling robbery:—John Calthorp, the son-of &respectable farmer residing near Saxmondham is Suffolk, and who has lived in the service of several no blenien, and afterwards kept a public-house in Clare-mar ket, from which he retired sometime ago, and went to live near his father, stated that on Wednesday afternoon last he came to town upon some business, and went to sleep fOr that night to a lodging-house, Queen Street, Seven Dials, kept by :linen named Hogan, He was shoWn into a bed room by hialself, in which be was locked op by the landlord, isecorditfoe to his usual prac ti ce towards strangers, lest they shoold decamp in the morning without recollect ing to pay for their bed/. Here the conspiai dant slept very soundly until nine o'cloik yesterday morning, when, on getting out of bed, he found his room door open. and file ,coat; waistcoat, pantaloons, : hat. 'bees, nod stockings. together with fifteen sovereigns, seventeen .shillings in silYer, , and a cheek oo Gm b.mking-house of Messrs. Child and Co. for 501. (sellichlortunately, however, is not payable for a fortnight), bad been carried off. Upon inquiry being made of Hogan, the landlord, he immedi ately said, 00 the robbery could quly have been com mitted by one of two persons. The prisoner at the bar, and an Irish bricklayer, both Of whom were regular 'lodgers in the house, and not being locked in, as all the' others were, were the only persons who could gain access to the complainant's room-door. Andes for the bricklayer, Hogan said, that he had such an opinion of his honesty, that he would trust him with untold gold ; but what made the suspicion much stronger against the prisoner was, as the bricklayer stated, both of them slept in the same room, and' he afterwards heard some person go out of the house. The prisoner was absent about an hour &stria, half, and then ra tioned, when he again went into bed, so that when the alarm was given he was found apparently asleep. Mr. Roe stow asked the prisoner to account for the time that he was absent, which be attempted to .do in a very unsatisfactory manner. He said, that be went out to take a walk, but when he got some distance. he found it began to rain, and again returned to bed. Mr. Roc said, that this was a very lame statement, sud remanded the prisoner for a future examination. The complainant appeared 7 at the office in a most pitiable plight,haviog no other dress on than his shirt,a pair of this drawers, and a pair of slippers, and wrapped up in a bor. rowed hackney coachman's box coat. He had no bat, nor a farthing of money left to buy one. The parties who give such positive testimony, as far as assertion, without being sworn, can be called so, against the boy Charles Ney, who was charged some days:aye with having fraudulently obtained two bowe'ram the shop of a Mr. Davis, in whose em t ' irsl uad been, came to the office to read their me e eratton,and as'positively assert the lad's innocence seamy before did his guilt. They have now discorpred,that this bonnets, which haw been recovered, tad been seat by another boy, who leil them at a wrong place. • This ihows how just Sir Geo. P'arrant's opinion was at the time, as to the strength of the alibi stated, and ready to be sworn to by the lad's parents. M A RVIABONE-07110E.-I(esterdiy spent men. of very respectable conoesions, named Anderton, with his wife, were brought up ip custody on the following charge of felony, made, as it subsequently appeared, falsely against them. . ft appeared Mr.. Anderton. the accused, bad lately, in consequence of losing his situation, become embarrassed, and his wife being near her confinement, availed himself of Ithe kind offer of a lady, a member of the •• Hinsle-street Association," established for the purpose of affording relief to reduced married women, and obtained a box of baby linen, &c. for the use of his wife, . having procured his landlord, Mr. Anderson, of Parr's-buildings, to be his security for the return of the limn, and his child having only lived ten days, the box of linen was washed and taken back to the society's house in Hindt-street, by Mrs. Anderton, with her acknowledgements for its use. An aged female received it, and admitted that every article was returned ; but by some mistake the matron, Mrs. Green, was not aware of the return of the linen, and in a few days after, mentioned to ihe landlord of the accused that such was the case. The Andertous had left his house, and were then lodging in Gee -court, Oxford-street, and be said that he would cause them to be taken into custody, as he did not doubt they bad made away with the box of linen; consequently, on Wednesday, he and two constables seised Anderton as be was walking through Oxford-street, and having him 'secured, dragged him through the streets; , finally lodging .him in Marylebone watch-house, on the ' ! charge of felony. His wife was also placed soon after in .durance on the same charge. On being conducted before 'the Magistrate, they pro •teatedtheir innocence, declaring the linen had been re ! turned. i The Magistratecquestioned Mrs: Anderson very cloielO i on the subject, and. it appeared she was not on good 'terms ,with the accused:persons, and had made the charge, having ,only heard.the.finen wad not returned, not haying taken the trouble to inquire whether it was or not. • ~. The Magistrate said there - wit no proof whatever against the young pertains, add be could not detain them: At this innctere.of the examination Mrs. Green, the matron of the society; waSiotroduced into the office by e friend of Meal Atherton's, and she• io some confusion de. 'elated, that in making inquiry, she had ascertained that BM box of • lineit had been' received by the person to what it i liad been returhed, and.iiho bad forgotten to mention it to her. She - was - extrenielY, sorry that the prisoners should 'have been Oren tip so iiiematurell, and would make some recompettar._ No imputation, she hoped, would rest upon their character. Mr. itt silx said it was a Mestdisgracefultra lion. Were persons to bi thus deprived of their libertr , ipid dinged through the.streets like felons, and charg e d .With a crime oo o.tth, without a shadow of canna or proof? It was intolerable; and be should recommend Mr. Anderton to bring his action. • Mr. Ancleirtot said it was an eitttemely hard case: by being incarcerated several hones.. he was afraid he bail lost a situatiou, as the time had passed when he was to meet a gentleman, Weaseie Srasaaa--Yi fterday Mary Steel, a very !Mune girl, was brought before WILNAM BKNITT, Esq. charged with robbing, a genteel looking young man of six sovereigns. The only thing extraordinary in this case was, that. it shows that some parts of this large metropolis are inhabited by a horrid portion of society. The youth stated, that about six weeks alto, after taking a glass of brandy, lie went out and met with the prisoner, who was in compeer with two others of her vile eisterbood. It was &boon o'clock at night. They went to a house in George Street, Wentworth Street, and the witness went with the primmer eip stairs. where she knocked at a door, which waa opened by a female, who glided by them into another apartment. and they entered the room. The young man felt there were sovereigns in his waistcoat pocket, where be was sore he bad them before he joined the prisoner and her as sociates, but he did taut look at them. Presently the pri soner made some excuse to go out of the room, leaving the witness alone. She did not return, anti he felt for his sovereigns, but they were gone. He directed his Cantle into the street, and that night mentioned his less to Barre, a constable, of Spitalfields , and-described to him the person of .Ibe prisoner. He never saw her again till Wednesdaylight last. when unperceived bv her he watehe I her to a house in this infamous street, and having watched her entrance be placed a halfpenny on the sill of the window, in order that he might be sure of the !tense en Iris return. He then applied to Bares, who, accompanied by the watchmen and the witness, entered the home, nil the witness immediately charged the prisoner as timelier. son who robbed him. M. UtNiTT inquired of Barra if be knew the character of the house ? Barre said be did, and there was scarcely a house in that street in which robberies bad not been committed. There was one house where 1.3001. had been stolen. There was not a day.oor a night in the week, but some one was robbed in that street. One man had informed hint he was decoyed into a house there a few days agO, and was robbed of all he hail, and that he thought he should destroy hhasea. As to the prisoner, he knew 'she had been brought to this office on other charges of felony, and had been tried it the Old Bailey. lie knew nothing of the robbery in crea tion; but whoever did it ran a with great haste, and, as he was inforined, had fallen in the street, where the list one of the sovereigns out of her hand. Waters, the police officer, proved that the prisoner fl been committed to Newgate for felony, and hr heliived for stealing a watch, and she had been antler etainioatitk several times for felony at this office. The bad character of the street wis confirmed by Mance. Mr. IigNITT was of opinion that if this Case were to go to a jury the prisoner would be acquitted. At least that was his opinion, as there was not sufficient evidence of the ssivereigna being taken in the room. but there axis sethcient suspicion to leave little doubt of the fart. At the same time it was ascertained the prisoner bad been oak several examinations for felony. and had been committed is Newgate.and that she was a common prostitute ; he shoal therefore not let her loose again on society without direct ing that sbe should suffer some degree of punishment. She was accordingly committed to the House of Cont. Lion as a common prostitute for one month. Matt Coact! ACCIDIINT.—The delivery of the letters from . the Post Office, yesterday morning, was later than usual, owing to an accident which happened to the Poel Mail, on its way to town, In consequence of some amt• tion which it encountered it was overthrown, and a lady, who was an ontside passenger, and the mail guard, were both severely injured.
