Mauston Housa.—Yesterday,' a middle aged man was committed by the Loan MAYOR to take his trial for felony, under the following rather novel circumstances. It was proved by the evidence of the waiter at Lloyd's Coffee House, and of a shopasan of Mr. Richardson, bookseller, Cornbill, that the prisoner has long been in the habit of watching about test neighbourhood for persons, who have the appearance of wanting employment. On dis covering any sucb, he accosts them, pretending to be a person of influence, and promises to obtain a situation for them, appointing them to meet him at Lloyd's on the ful. lowing day. On repairing punctually to this appointMent they have generally met the prisoner descending the steps in great apparent - baste, holding soirething like a sove reign iii his hand for 'Which he wants change. The es pectants of a good sitiatilais, seldom provided with twenty .shifilags, after Wei, a ll they Imye , with which he disapr .pears, and they 'se e him no More. In the present case: he had obtained ity Oda means I9s. from a country lad; and was sent to take his trial for stealing. Souse sailors, whom be has so deluded, have frequently given muck', trouble at Lloyd's, rsAt being easily _persuaded that he was an impostor, and they were dupes. lliotaillibu.---.111a4 Ann frifrors, a young girl of in to:realise and respectable appearance, attended yesterday to unwise a charge of assault. She was accompanied by her aunt, and a gentiergan also had been hail 'for hr' at the witch-houee. The Alderman . teak his seat at half-past 10, and neither prosecutor Der officer having arrired at a quarter past 11, the gentledise begged that his Worship woold)isten to the young girl's story, which she told as Yellows;—She Was coming from the place of her abode in Blacktriara s -roati, about liAtf-pask right in the evening, inti ndiug . to go to her aunt's in Curs:tor-strot, Chancery lane, and had got as far as Bridge street, when she' wet the prosecutor and another yang nu n. The prdsecutor addres;ed her in very improper language, and refused to f ro away, 'lnit kept following fier and repeating his brutal espressunis, till at last '514 tiird'hiits she would strike him if he did not leave her. At this ht billy Lingle/4'; and putting his head under heehonnet, she was provoked to stritte hint with her reticule; aml The key of a door bring therein, is cease with such force agsibst his ttuiple that it was cut and bled. She went into a pastry-ctsok's nen!. the 'spot: and while she was three the yowl man get an officer, nip:kook her into custody. AR officer of St. Milk's, who land approdien , !ed the young girl, said Chat he had nut seen the beginning of the affair, bat took the charge from the young gentleman, who was bleeding very snitch from a deep cut in hill forehead. The gentleman who had bailed her, said he was passing ' while the officer was taking ber to the watch•hoose, and the indignant expressions of all around urged him to step forward, and inquire.into the matter, when be was so much impressed with the girl's innocence, that be at once became bail for her. A Lotaktiv.-01bcer, I think you have acted very wrong in this holiness. Oflicer.—:-If your Worship were but to see the whole of the parties, you would be convinced of the truth of the charge. A r.neama sr.—How dare you say I would be convinced by the sight of any party ? I have beard enough to coo -1 ince me that the prosecutor in this case, is the guilty per son, and that your conduct has been highly repreliensit le It would appear as if you had been bribed to screen the real offender from justice. Officer.—Please your Worship. he is a most respectable young gentleman ; his father keeps an academy ,over the water. ALDERMAN..--. 1 do not care if be is the son of a Prince. Young woman, will you swear to the trutk of what you have stated ?—I am ready to swear, Sir, that it is true. The gentleman now said, that while the young man war making the charge at the watch house, he cautioned him as to what he was saying, when the oer remarked, " Oh, never mind, you are not on oath." ALOSKIIIAN.—The case is dismissed. Now, officer, I shall represent your conduct to the Lord Mayor, who, have no doubt, will visit It with exemplary punishment. David Perry, the messenger at the Fleet, whose previous examination appeared in our paper of Monday, was agaii brought up, and the solicitors not having been able to trac, the pretended Mr. Smith, nor to obtain any further infors 'mutton tending to implicate the prisoner. they stated they. would not oppose his discharge. The prisoner intimated that be hoped he should have some acknowledgement that be had been wrongfully accused, but this the magistrate de clined ; and be was then discharged. protesting that be was wholly Innocent, and bad declared all he knew of th. business. MART-LE-BONE OlVlCS..—Yesterday Mr. John Lirnebee r shoe-maker, of Queen-street, Eilgewsre-road. and his wife appeared to answer a charge exhibited against them by Mr. Luff, the father of one of their apprentices. W Leff, the son, stated on oath, that on Monday last be and • the other apprentice were calkd yip , to tea; that soon after wards the light was taken out of the room, and his mistress gave hint something in a mug which be took to be tea ; on tasting it, however, he found it extremely disagreeable, and the elder apprhntice having left the room, Leff fol lowed hint, and carried out the mug with the tea ; be asked him to taste the tea, which he did, and declared it to be peison. Leff then raided the mug, with its contents, home to his parents, and, by his father. who swore the liquid It contented was of the eolour Of pale Ink, it was carded to a medico) man. This tientkman attended, and, stated, that the mug brought to-him by Lutt senior, was tea, but with a considerable portion of green vitriol or copperas infused in it ; the effects of which would be, it taken inwardly, a considerable degree of sickness, and ul timately consequences dangerous to the health or life of the person who took it. Young Ltd farther swore that on the Monday morning his mistress bad threatened to give him something to drink, for which he should pay dearly. On the part of Mr. Limebeer and his wife, a young woman, who was drinking tea at the house that evening, swore that the light was not taken out of the room till after the epprenti a rs had received their tea, and that the mug which was produced was the one which held the milk, and that the tea given to both the amen tiles was of the same colour. Mrs. Limebeer also positively denied, that she knew of any thing but tea being in the cup, and accounted for the light bring taken out of the room by its being necessary to look after the children. — Mr. Litnebeer said. that the material infused tato the tea, was used its his business, dist some of it was lying In the shop, and accessible to either of the apprentices, and . the the whole story was a fabrication got up to lame him.— The Magistrates were of opinion, that as the case stood, though it was a very extraordinary one, and they thought th e boy's testimony very much straiten, it ought to go to a Jury. Mr. Leff said. be should apply to the Charity, is eackinghannibire, which badapprenticed his son, to know if it would go on with the case, for the purpose of cau l'calling • the boy's indentures.—allo further decision was come to, and the parties left the Office together. QUEEN SQUARE.—APPREHENDING VAGRANTS FOR THI SAKE OP RENARD.--TGO Magistrates for the last two days were chiefly occupied in examining witnesses in the hives Ligation of the conduct of one of the dismounted patrol. It appeared from what we could collect (for the investiga tion was private), that the patrol oe Monday last brought a man before the Magistrates, charged with begging; that he swore the prisoner went into a baker's shop in Totbill Street, to beg for alms ; that. when he came out be placed himself in the street in an impudent manner, and would not permit any person to pass who would not give him charity. The man was committed for a month, upon the constable's oaths, which entitled him to a reward of 10s. Subseqnently the Magistrates were informed the constable had sworn falsely for the sake of the reward, that the mau had not begged but be was exceedingly drunk, and. for the latter offence Nixon's party, to whom Condie was attached took him to the watch-house. The Magistrates consulted together, and they were of one opinion, that they were too often imposed upon by con stables and watchmen, interested in having persons com mitted as vagrants. The clerk was ordered to draw out a statement of the case, and Nixon's party of patrol were directed to attend at the Secretary of State's °lice, when Ur. Itainsford intended to lay the case before him. Yesterday morning a messenger from some of the inha bitants of Pimlico came for the assistance of the officer% to discover the perpetrator of a depredation which had been committed upon the property of the respectable housekeepers in the vicinity of the it ive Fields. For some days a report has been disseminated that a figure, which at will has the power of transforming itself iuto any shape. has been seen about tbe,fielde after dusk every . night, and in endemic +, garde's% peessing• Imp person who sp preaches. 'this had such an effect upon the females, that none would venture out of doors after dusk; but by others the Subject was treated with contempt, till Wednesday night, when a shower of brickbats, stones, and other missiles, was thrown against the windows, which were dreadfully shattered, and it was with difficulty that some of toe inhabitants 'escaped with their lives. After the storm subsided, and persons could venture out, every place was searched; but no traces could be discovered from whence the stones, a:c., had been thrown. On Thursday, about the same hour, there carne another shower; bat so very fast were they thrown, that no idea could be formed from what quarter they had come. The constables anti watchmen were all called out ; every place was, searched; every garret, garden, and even the roots of the houses, but nothing appeared to have been moved, and no person could be found concealed, which s'rengthened the report that it certainly must be a ghost ; and, in order to be better prepared for the next attack, the police were sent for. • Cooper,the officer, instantlyrepaired thither. Ile found giteen-street had suffered materially in broken tt indows. hut Ebnry-place angered most; there was scarcely a pane of glass left whole in the hack windows, which parts Elizabeth-place ; the back Windows of tl:e latter were entirely demolished. Several valtiable pier glasses, furniture, &c. were entirely destroyed, and some of the stones wi.i.:ll entered the apartments weighed at least Ph. One child was nearly killed by a stone. He had made a general Board' bat in vain. The inhabitants had printed bills placarded about the neighbourhood, offering a reward for the perpetritors of this outrage. The case sit prespnt rests in the most obscure metery... fiats, Sotrrnwaaa.—Among the persons who, aecqrdiog to the third section of the Statute, are to b* deemed rogue. and vagabonds within the true intent awl meaning of the late Vagrant Act, are all these " who run away *nd leave their wives or children chargeable to any pariah, township, or place;" and by virtue of this clause, the Overseer. of the.Parisir of St. John, in the Borough, brought up Hen:iambi Wootton. The Overseer stated, that the prisoner absconded from his home on Saturday night last, leaving his wife, who Wu in the last stsge of pregnancy, and four children un provided for. That the wile hail actually been delivered of her fifth• child on the Monday. and that site and het' family Lad, in consequence, become burdensome to the parish. On Mr. Alderman SMITR inquiring how they happened to get him into custody so quickly. it was replied that he had returned home again on the Wednesday evening fol. lowing. The prisoner protested that his going off was only a foolish freak of his; that he had no intention of deserting his wife and family; that there was no cause for her apply ing to the parish, for though he might have left her a little short of ready cash, there were plenty of things she might have raised money upon. Mr Alderman Serra observed, that the prisoner richly ,leservtd punishment for his iinfeelinz conduct, but he •ould not for a moment entertain the idea that this was inch a desertion as was eniteuiplated by the Statute, and discharged the prisoner. On Friday lact, as Mr. buzzard, of nrton by %Fenaiad, was returning . home from Leicester fair, he rode foul of a gentleman's gig, the shafts of which entered the breast of his horse and killed it upon the spot. Mr. B. had been making free at the fair—indeed more free than welcome,' —for the horse killed was not that which he rade to the fair, (a borrowed our,) but a more valuable animal, which lit by accident had taken from the stable of the inn.— ( itantford .Neva.) LONDON MARKETS. CITY, OCTOBER 22, 1523. BACON.—There is very little demand for Bacon in this market ; but the jobbers are loosing forward, and are making. time bargains: with them profit " never is, but always to he" made. As we have often observed, a calm is the thing they nost dread: there must be • bustle crested by themselves, or they are in danger of being forgotten. The regular tradesman. however, is generally doing the moat and the best sort of busi ness when these men are idle.—On b0ard,.321. to SU. Land.. ed, Old, fits. to &Os.; New,42s. to 44a. BD rrEß.—The stock here is very heavy, and. for the greater part, almost unsaleable, on account of its staleness, having been brought here during the hot weather ; and there being enough of that which is 'fresh, for the demand for won gumption. The trade being so unprofitahle, some have been employing their loose cash in buying Spanish Bonds. Before the failure of the Irish Banks In 1619, many of the Irish ship pers were In the habit of speculating on their own account ; but that event so crippled them, that they now move only through the means which they derive from London. Speaking of the staleness of the Butter reminds us of the origin of the law for compelling the shippers of Rutter to send it in casks of a small 'size; a measure very injurious to the retail dealers, but more so, if possible, to the speculators; because, es they almoit always I..ep the Butter until it get stale, the mailer the quantity in the cask, the sooner, of course, the Better perishes. Tills Act originated 'with Sir John Newport, to serve 'a peel cubir interest, and like all such things, is a general injury. The Committee should have this Act repealed.— On board : Carlow, 775. to 79s.—Beifest, 768. to 77..—Waterford, 718. to 7Ss.— Dublin, 744.—Cork, 725.t0 73s.—Limerick, Moo 7ls.—Land ed f Ca doe . 725. to &N.—Belfast, —Wa erford, 745.t0 735. —Dublin, 745. to 70s.—Cork or Limerick, 74s.—Duteh, 744. to 843.
