Mr. ADOLPHUS appealed to the Court as the guardian of the • lives atilt idslesty's subjects, not to permit the prisoner to go at large upon such condition. According to the laws of Eng land every subject was supposed capable of finding sureties. The Court ordered him to be brought up on Saturday. Arnold Heath, a corn chandler,. residing in Kennington la4e, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. -The 10. .fnments were made in an affidavit, sworn by the defendant je the Uonvt of King's Bench, for the pnrpqse of setting • aside the troceedings in an action instituted against hiut.

POLICE. .-,•- Maannote Housn.—The proprietor of the Elephant Inn and Salisbury van appeared before Alderman Venables, (who sat for the Lord Mayor,) to answer the charge of not 'having delivered a parcel in doe time. A Solicitor attended on behalf of the proprietor of the van, and admitted the fact, that the fish which arrived bad not been delivered within six hours. He said Ise would contend. Opt the law allowed the defendant to deliver It within twenty-four, as be hoped he should convince the Magistrate that these vans were, in fact, public stage wag gons. It bad been stated in the public prints, that these vehicles paid mile duty, and were considered by the Legis. 'lature as stage coaches. This statement was erroneous; they paid no mile duty; they were not treated as stage coaches ; they bad no numbers on them, neither were they treated as such on the road, bat as waggons, and paid the toll as waggons. They could not be considered as coaches, because I bey went on springs, for some waitrons of Mesas. Pickford had gone on springs for nearly 50 years. Thep paid toll as waggons. and bad been considered as such by the Somerset Magistrates, who obliged one of them to pay the toll of narrow wheeled waggons. In another Instance they were refused more than four horses,fire beingallowed to a stage coach, bat the additional horse was refused to the vans. One of them bad been treated as a waggon, and brought within the operation of the Act of Charles the Second, by a conviction fur travelling on a Sunday.— Souse vans carried passengers, but they were not brought within the law, which obliged stage coaches carrying passengers to carry only luggage ton certain height on the ()UMW. Reliance was placed on their natne as" fly" vaus„ and their speed as bringing them within the meaning of the Act as carriages. But the name of fly" had bees given for a long time to waggons and other vehicles, which in point of speed did any thing but fly: They had fly 'boats and fly barges. Then, as to the commodities and goods they carried, they could not be distinguished from waggons by carrying those of a lighter description. He would call witnesses to prove that the goods carried by the vans were full as heavy and cumbensoine as doom carried in waggons. They carried often as much as three or four toes of luggage, which it would be impracticable for the proprietor to get delivered within six hours after the arrb val, particularly in the winter time. On this grontel the question was one of the greatest imp irtance to the propri etors, and on the several grounds that the vehicles bad bees considered and treated as common waggons, and not as stage coaches, lie submitted that the proprietors were only bound to deliver the goods within twenty-tour hours slice their arrival. A coach proprietor, on being questinnelas to the nature 'of the goods carried by the vane, admitted that goods as heavy were carried in stage coaches. Alderman VaxiteLes said he would go along- with tfte Learned Uentlesnan so far as to admit that these rens were not stage coaches; but. on the oiler hand, he held that they were not stage wagzeos. The words of the Act were, " any public coach or carriage other than &common stage waggon," which comprehended every kind of mhicle but the stage waggon. The Magistrate said he understood these vans as a new species of veliii le not conteMelated by the Legislature, as they were not in use at the time the Act was pissed, hut clearly coming within its provisions is a "public carriage other than a common stage waggon." A large portion of perishable goods, which required im rnAliate delivery, were conveyed by these vans, and he there fore thought the construction he hail taken the be neficial construction.--Ile convicted the defendant. The prosecutor here stated that his object was not to ob tain the penalty, hut a decision upon the question, that the public might know in future in what time they had a right to have their goods delivered. The defendant was accordingly convicted in a nominal penalty with costs. Alderman VIZNABLES said. he considered that it was for the interest of tliLt proprietors of the vane that they suould be brought within the operation of this Act. Indeed, they - were now become of sufficient importance to have a p irticular Bill introduced for their regulation.—Tbe peolic were greatly indebted to the prosecutor for bringing the case forward. 1.30W-STREET.—ferele , Waters, a sprightly youth of 21, employed as a porter at the Angel inn, St. Clements, Strand, was charged with an assault, with intent to commit a rape. upon Eliza Cowling. Eliza Cowling is &servant at the Angel ; and during the four months that she has been there she has been constant ly importuned 1)7 the defendant for favours which it was ,quite impossible for a modest woman to grant. She told him she was older than him (she is about 35), and he bad •-• seek or- -- his own age. 'but still he would Dot red her from one room to another, the rest of the household, " Eliseo he ventured to take great liberties in mike his conduct known. On Mon ordered to take a pint of porter to te, and she found the prisoner there ly seized her round the waist, threw and when she attempted to resist his lola of her throat with his hand and the however got from him, and called In his defence, Waters denied the charge, and said it was true he had taken some slight liberties with the prosecu. Iris, but she was quite as willing as be was, and that was well known to every body in the house. The proseentrin declared this to be false, and called her master, who gave her the character of a discreet honest woman. Mr. Mixsuut.a said, he believed her to be so, and ordered the defendant to find bail,liimself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each. HATTON-OARDEN.--A respectabledooking young woman was brought up by warrant, by the parish officers of St. Andrew, to compel her to swear an illegitimate child which she has had recently, prior to her being sent to her parish. The woman appealed to the magistrate, stating that she did not want to swear the child, which cal now twill, I maintained by its parent, and she had no intention of ap plying for parish relief. She was not even living in their parish, and she wished to know whether they could compel' bier to swear it, or compel her to go to her parish? ' Mr. Sergeant &wist said, certainly not. If such things' were to •be tolerated, they might compel the first duchess in the 'land to ebtne'forti•ard and swear her child, if It .chanced to be horn out of 'heti loony. If the child became chargeable, the case Would be different. 'I be perish might,' if they chose, remote the woman to her' bathe: but tW 4 S. Must do it at their own peril: be would not give these his Countenance In so doing. MARLOORottan STRerr Jeupee, a Sok& II- Alesuan,Whose newt has already apprered Were tbd was brought so the offiett Ipon a warrant, eh 11 bating threatened to take away the life of Me. lahli respectab!e tailor inglanorer Sitter, thinner Stlatiees' Mr. Pollard stated, that this Mr. denies habitslo'll na tely by some means or other became separated with one of his daughters, and had made a forma; proposal to him for her in marriage. Nut kaoWing 'any thing wba'ever of him, Mr. Pollard told biM, that before he could content to give away his .itaughter to &perfect stranger, it was necessary he shonid know something of the defendant'santans of sup rtinca wife.. The defendant represented that he bad an independent property iu Switzerland of four hundred a year sterling, end gave some references as to his respectability. Upon making some inquiries, however, Mr. Pollard was by no means satisfied, and, therefore, declined the alliance altogether, and prohibited his daughter from seeing Jaques in future. The latter, however, continued his addresses, and was constantly calling at, and hovering about, his honer, and insisting upon seeing the young lady, who at length, to avoid his importunities, was sent some distance into the country. Since the defendant hay learned this, he has been beard repeatedly to declare, that he would blow out the brains of Mr. Pollard, and afterwards his own; to ma complish which, he always carried a case of pistols shout him. On the night of Saturday last, Mr. Pollard saw him watching about Hanover Street. and bad no doubt it was reran opportuhity of carrying his threat into execution. Mr. Rog, the Magistrate, askaldf Mr. Pollard had any witness to prove the threats used by the de fendaet. • . Mr. Pollard said he had, and called the person io whose house in Berwick Street, Mr. Jaqaes lodges, who stated, that when the defendant returned home on Saturday night, he said that he had just been very near accomplishing his object, for be had seen Mr. Pollard, and had be spoke') one word to him he would have instantly shot him, and then cut his own throat with a razor. He then took from his pockets a pistol, which was loaded to the muzzle, wit! a razor, which he showed the witness, and repeated bat he' would emmapat an end to Mr. Pollard if he did oot give up his daughter to him. Mr. Roe asked the defendant what he had to say to this charge. He denied that he had ever threatened Mr . Pot- lard's life, and was enteriog into a history of his a.artaint-1 soca with Miss Pollard, when Mr. Roe told him he had no thing to do with this subject, and to cootine himself to the immediate charge; and not being able to disprove it, lie was ordered to find two sureties in 501. each, and himself in 1001. to appear at the sessions. where Mr. Roe strongly urged Mr. Pollard to ezhibit articles of the peace, unless before that time the defentlaut should be sent out of the country, as it appeared the Alien Office had some charge against him. QUIIIIN-SQUARE.—Mr. Capper, from the Alien Mice ap peared yesterday before the Aligistrate , and stated, that Mr. Solomon Victor Jacques, the person mentioned in our paper of yesterday, as having been arrested and proceeded against under the Alien Act, for neglecting to register his place of abode, having been required to give sureties for preserving the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, and being prepared with bail for that purpose, he (Mr. Capper) would not press for his conviction, under the Alien Act. The proceeding under the Act in question was there fore quashed. Yesterday a boy, stating himself to be in the employ of Mr. Dixon, printer and publisher, Waterloo Road, wee brought before the Magistrates of this office, charged with an infringement on the Hawkers and Pedlars' Act, for vending pamphlets without a license. The prisoner was in the daily habit of parading Sloane Street, with a large board tied oa his back, announcing a new pamphlet, headed, " Recent Case of infamous and horrible Abduction in London, being' the full Account (as sworn to by several witnesses) of the Imprisonment, in a Private Madhouse, of en American Lady by her Hus band, Eq. of Sloane Street, Chelsea, and of her discharge by Habeas Corpus, on 'Thursday, 2tith August, 1t23." The,gentlemso against whom the abdaction was alleged, adopted this mode of checking the libel contained in the pamphlet. A young gentleman attended on his behalf, and stated that it was the intention of the gentleurau accused to pro secute for libel, unless the work was immediately sup pressed. He understood it was written by a Lieutenant of the R.N., who aim acquainted with Mrs. S. sod her family. Mr. Dixon, on bring sent for, acknowledged publishing the pamphlet, but was not aware that it w a s ille g al to hawk them &boot, especially as they were of his own manufac ture. Other publications, as the "Theatrical Observer" were sold in this manner. Magistrate-1 suppose they were stamped. Mr. Dixon agreed to discontinue the sale, on which the intention of prosecation for libel was abandoned. UNION UALL.—Yesterday, Richard Martin, Esq. M.P. attended at this office to prove his case against Peter Law, for cruelly beating and driving a horse belonging to his employer, Thome, Fry, a knacker, in Blackfriars' Road. Mr. Martin prefaced his charge with a few observations• upon the brutal conduct of the class of men called koaskers. When a poor worn out horse was sold to one of these fel lows for the purpose of slaughter, in many instances it was worked as long as it bad a leg to stand upon, and frequently let out to job at the rate of ls. Gd. or 2s. a day, until at length the unfortunate animal actually dropped i.ewn dead from fatigue. He (Mr. M) went a few days ago to the house of a miscreant of this description at Whitechapel. Oa entering the pound where the horses were kept, he saw eight or ten pour starved animals. When he asked wheu they had received food last, a fellow said, " Oh, a horn cap live eight or nine days well without a bit of food." He (Mr. Martin) sent for a truss of hay, and by td— they ran at it more like hungry hounds than horses. He then made some observations on the inhumanity of keeping horses in a state of starvation, but was asked, " What business is it of your's ? If you want to be generous give me some of your money." "By o—, a halfpenny of wine you don't get," was the reply. Mr. Martin said, that Fry must be a man of the same kidney, or be never would have allowed his servant to treat a poor animal with such cruelty. The case was then proved. On the sth of September Mr. Martin saw law driving a horse in a cart on Black friars' Road. The animal was quite lame, but Law lashed it most cruelly with a large whip on the back, although there was a lump there as large as the fellow's ugly head. There was also a piece of iron in the horse's mouth, and Law worked it up and down, and put the animal to inex pressible torture. Besides all this. the horse was driven at the rate of eight miles an hour oe three legs. Any thing so barbarous as the whole conduct of this savage, Mr. Mar tin had not seen since the introduction of his Bill into Parliament. The defendant denied that he had done any thing of the kind. Mr. Martin—There's Martin Whelan, my servant, saw the thing as well as I did. Defendant —1 didn't drive the orsd with no panicky' cruelty. Mr. Martin started from his chair, and said, " By 0— 1 never saw worse treatment in my life. Let the horse be produced, and it will speak for itself. iilr. COAMDERS requested that the Deity's name should not be so frequently used in such a manner. In fact, lam ander a penalty myself, said Mr. Chambers, if I allow such a course to be pursued. Whelan' confirmed his muter's statement. Fry, for the defence, called a person named Edwards, who said that he had seen lie cruelty exercised by,the de fendant; and that he did slot see that the horse was lame, ift: 'Watt* (snatching up Pye's Justice, which lay oo tits tii tOd kissing i it,) " by the contents of this book. airhat e 'said, is trite ; and I'll bet you any meaty , whistitit get m o , that yet geese saw a lamer hone thfialplintor"iobserved, that the evidence plainly. de. .mcinittaisftlAit kritt ertteltrlvad, bun lased. . . 1 Pry begged tit the Murat/stet troglC ticket,thp+h ors liimatt • • " 4n this request Mr. Menlo jolted. . ti ;02 At tAO better seek one nearer I be denied.

Its xondition was most de- Plorable. The stifle bone was oet of joist, an incurable iejury. The poor animal had fallen' two or tk re* time in the struggle to walk from Welsher-street to the Office. Mr.Ceastegas expressed the strongest indignation at the conduct of the defendant, and fined him 51. There is r no appeal from the conviction in this case, and the fine wag paid. Before Mr. Chambers inflicted the penalty, Mr. Martin, told the defendant that he would Rot prosecute if the hone was immediately put to death. The Magistrate of course, after the evidence, would nut permit a compromise. The defendant prayed hard fee a 'mitigated penalty, an/ r Me. Martin seconded him. Mr. en AUDIOS —Uf)on what ground, Me. Martin, do yo‘ wish the fine to he mitigated? • Mr. Martin—Why then, epos my word, l dotal know. Mr. CUAttacas regretted that he could iullict no iteaviei penalty. DANGER OW WILD BEAST SHOWS.
