FROM TUESDAY NIGHTS GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, APRIL 9. The King has been planed to appoint Vice-Adiniral Sir Richard tioodwin heats, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, to be Matter of his Majesty's Hospital at Greenwich, in the County of Kent, and also one of the Commissioners or Otnernors thered, in the root' of Admiral Sit John Colpoys, deceaied. was employed coastaatly at Mr. Sowedlles, and one occasionally was employed at each of the other wharfs. They Were sometimes all at work together, when it was impossible fur one man to attend the whole of the duty. There was no other meter em ployed with me in this situation. i think that 41. was the greatest amount of metage that I hive ever taken per week from the Vauhall station to Mt. Mgr. and about the same amount of metage from the Lam beth station. There were two, and sometimes three gangs employed at Devey's Albion Wharf. A meter cannot attend to more than one ran, at a time, if 'e do his duty properly. The Albian Wharf is close to Mr. Rigg's enunting-hease. I have frequently seen Mr. Bigg on this wit Ili, but I never saw him super intend any of the gangs who were employed there. At the Vauxhall station coal: were worked ent at Leek's Deck when 1 was not present. This was in September. I recollect going down to the wharf, and g;ir - in, a ti , ket for them, although I had not been preset.t. This was a common ease with me; sometimes froM not being able to attend, in consequence of different v in o working at the same time, and sometimes f.om own inattention.—[Here an argnment arose between the Counsel upon the admissibility of certain C. fence.] The witness contiatiorl—that he remembered a pre, tleman having complained of his giving Tickets will • out seeiiire the coals measured. I told this complai , l to Mrs. Alen, who oas then the office-keeper. Ir. few evenings after I saw Mr. Bigg, who asked int what humbug tale I had been making np for him. told him of the emrplaint that had been made to In by the gentleman, and said that I could not be attrntl ing two places at owe. The ticket itself is given t the carman, and the connter part is retained by th Meter, who gives it in at the office. On Saturday nig lr the money is paid in to Mr. Hirg at the office, and o these occasions hr was sometimes drunk two Saturrla nights out of five. Mrs. Allru and Mr. Higg we' the only persons generally at the office. 01).s-examined hy Mr. Not.ms.—The canto OW was slisrliarg-ed for was, that Mr. Higg cbargerl with haying embezzled the metage. There were dirt lion' to IlleASOre thee %arks once a week, and also t,, p down the complaints in writing at the office. I down no complaint in writing about the comp la that was mark with regard to Lack's coals. I tun John Humph' irs, who might hare been inspectiog whilst I was inverting another. Mr. Junes kepi shed, •tnil w uhl sometimes send ow a quarter t chaldron. Itostkel's wharf dose to Lambeth clbu, man at the wharfs of Messrs.,Filher and Beton. At the station of Barnes, Mordake, and Raw, containing an extent of two ndleit a one-half, there was only one meter, and he in consequence of not being able to be at more thaa one place at a time, was frequently obliged to leave blank tickets to be filled up by the venders of the coals, with what quantity they thought proper. At the Rotherhithe station, where there were fuer plates for the delivery of eoals, there was only one meter, and here also blank tickets were left for the dealers. The Petition then went on to state several cues where the consumers of coal had suffered in consequence of the duty of the meters not being performed. It charged Mr. Bigg with not having superintended the meters as he was in duty bound to do, aa4 with sot having any peruse in his office qna lified to receive complaints, and lastly, it charged him with being frequently in a state of intoxication, so that he was unfit to perform his duties ; and the Pe tition concluded by praying, that, under all the cir cumstance., Mr. Bigg might be dismissed. Mr. TUItToN spoke more at large upon the nature of the charges against the defendant, and spoke of the disadvantage which existed in making an attack upon a person so respectably situated. But he trusted that be could show that Mr. Bigg was fully aware of the frauds complained of, and that if he were not, he must hare been so negligent as to be totally unfit fur his office. He would first advert to the practice at the West minster Meter's Office, and should show that they em ployed a greater number of men as meters, than Mr. Bigg, although it was their interest, as well 'as his. to employ as few men as possible, for their gains were upon the per centage by measure of the coal, and out of this per tentage the wages of the meters were to be pail!. It was, therefore, their interest to employ as few meters as possible. It was, in fact, the interest of the principal meter, as he was paid upon the measure, that the measure should be short. In the Westminster Coal Meter's (list' irt, n hid' only ex tended from Essex Wharf, in the Strand, to Chelsea, and which district contains forty-seven wharfs, there were fifty-four coal meters, being more than one meter to each wharf, which was nem,- sary, for there were sometimes more than two or three gangs of men working at a time on a wharf; and no l atter could superintend more than one at a. time, if he did his duty. (In the Surrey side, in Mr. gee distrirts, from Rotherhithe to the Nine Eleass, there was no sus it proportion ; one wan had frequently attend three or four wharfs at a time. One complaint was, that there was not snlVient attendance at the Offstie : and here he would particularly claim atten dos. There was no clerk whatever employed at this Office, which was it the care of a woman, named 51 rt. Alleo . . Suppose be pateltnied a quantity of coals at Putney, and was dissatisfied with time measure of them, he was bound by the Act to give notice at the principal uslmeter's office. But where was it to be found ? The direction on the meter's ticket was "Surrey Coal Meters' Office, near Blackfriars Bridge," aid when he had brought clown his cart thi ther, he must wander about from place to place to find it, and when it was found, he would only find Mrs. Allen there, who was incompetent to receive any complaint, and who must leave the office to go down to the wharfs to hunt for mine of the meters, who must go down to Putney, and over to Egbatn, to measure the coals, which must be kept waiting in the cart all this time at his expense. Ile :asked whetbm r this might to he suffered ? At the Westminster meters office there were two inspectors, assisted by two other individuals always in attendance. finother practice complained of was, that Mr. Biggs had here in the habit of employing his own meters as his servant.. In one particular instance he had been in the habit of employing a meter from the Rotherhithe station, to attend his horse, in cleaning knives, gardening, &c. leaving the public at the mercy of the coal-merchants, who might cheat at discretion. On the whole, he should be able to show that Mr. Biggs had manifested a total disregard to public business, and he contended that the public could only be protected by his dis missal. The complainant, who was a respectable coal merchant, did not come there as a common informer, but in time purest possible spirit to protect himself and the public. The first witness called seas Mr. Stephen Lawson, formerly a labouring meter in the employ of Mr. Bigg. and had ceased to be in Iris employ fur three years and a half. In ISI7, I attended at Mr. Pugh's wharfs. I had in the whole to attend to Mr. Russel's, Mr. Jones's, and Mr. Pugh's wharfs. '1 here were some times one gang, smnetimes two (wigs emuployed at Mr. Pugh's. One gang at Mr. Jo me's, and ano ther occasionally at Mr. Russel's. 'I he; souse times worked altogether; on such occasions one labouring meter was insufficient to do time duty. I saw Mr. Bigg at Pugh's wharf two or three times. At the time that the Lambeth contract for the workhouse was working be came there. They were at work then both at Russet's and Pugh's at the same time. I remember some coals being sent nut whilst I were at Lambeth from Pugh's wharf to tl.e London Dock Company's basin.—(The ticket for coals was here prodnced.)—This ticket is not in my hard writing. They were sent out at pool wain. e. 1 oto not suppose that I superintended the measuring of thm se coals. It was my duty to superintend the measuring of time coals. I took an oath to do my duty. I might have been in another place. I remember part of the coals being %soaked out. I was attending other wharfs during some part of the time. Some part of the time I did no: attend to my duty, 1 was sometimes at Mr. Pugh's counting-house doing nothing. 1 game Mr. Pugh the tickets. Part of these coals went by craft and part by waggon. When the coals were me. - stared, I made out the tickets to send them. 'I he coals were measured by the, coal porters. I eeldom saw them measured. It was my duty to attend to the tiara snrement of all the coals. Bet I was sometimes at tending at other wharfs, and sometimes doing to - thing. I was sometimes on the Vaazhall station, which contains Mr. Hack's, Mr. Somerville's, Mr. Vintner's, and Mr. Mitylliiatt wharfs. llue gang This day was . paVe , rsol in 3 vol..

Bradfield said he Wag a coal-merchant resi.ling is Westminster. On the 1:!th of Feb. last, 1 was am Turner's wharf, in Stangate. I saw one eltahlron of coals loading from the wharf. There was no meter present. I s.r.e them taken to sir. Astle) '4 premises. There were some tickets given in with the coals at Al r. Astley's premises. They had the appearance of tickets. The same waggini returned to the same wharf, and pro ceeded to load another ehaldeon in the same manner. They were delivered to Mr. Jeremy's, at Inner Temple lane. I saw this ticket delivered at Mr. Jeremy's. Un the 13th of February I was at Samuel Jones's wharf. I believe it is called Prince's wharf. There was one gang of men loading oat of the barge, and another Cane' at work loading from the warehouse. I saw on meter attentliteg to witness the loading of either. Uhl of them went to a public house, where a ticket was de livered. On the 14th of February 1 WAS at Porey's w!iarf, near Westminster-bridge. I saw coals deli vered to a 3lr.

I saw the carmen deliver the meter's ticket . st itb the coal*. At the time that 1 Is ye bean speaking of, there were on!! three labouring meters stationed float Westminster bridge to the Nies Elms.

SURREY SESSIONS. Till: COAL. TRADE. Yesterday these Sessions sat, by adjournment, to hear and determine upon the complaint of Mr. T. Bradfield, against Francis Birg, Esq., the principal Coal-meter for the county of Surrey. C. Harrison, Esq., took the Chair, and there was a full Bench of Magistrates. amongst whom were Randle Jackson. Esq ,J. King, Esq , T. Hedger, Esq., and several others. Considerable interest was excited amongst the coal merchants in general by this complaint. and a great number of merchants and dealers crowded the Court. Mr. TVILTON appeared as Counsel for the Petition ; Mr. Not.a:s and Mr. HEATH conducted the defence. The Petition, which was first read, was of consi derable length, and set out with sta►ing, that by the 4341 of tieorge 111. the office of Chief Coal-meter fur the county of Surrey, was vested in Mr. F. Bigg. anti that upon petition the Magistrates of the county were empowered to proceed in a snonmary manner to in quire, and upon evidence to dismiss him for miscon duct.
