Few persons will give • tent gives the trouble to seek redress, and Ms celesta. lien of these fellows is, that from the average • profit upon the whole number of parcels delivered. they Me very well stf4rd to pay the expense of a conviction fee en overcberge upon one or two. The Magistrates am . very desirous of putting a stop to these impositions ea , the public, and their continuance is the fault of those who will not give themselves the trouble of making the necessary application. A case of this description, which tiled to be one of imposition from beginning to end, iiiinitited at this Justice Room on Saturday, before the D Aidartias, Sir James Shaw. kb pwagat the Bell and Crown use, Holborn, as mammons to answer the complaint of Solo n, Bsq. of Arlington Street, Camden 'rows. II parcel, weighing 9ilh , bad been conveyed to - 4 ea, where it had been left by Davis. harm come ' tie tbst intt, by the Southampton' tomb. The ma ,1 carriage and porterage, sad which Darts from the landlonl of the Blue Poets, was lit, generally understood charge for carriage is once per lb.; and upon Inquiry at the Bell • Mr. Levies found that the charge to Davis ,. et being about Is. Yd. wee 25. This was dm irearsharge of the eoaeb owner, with which Davis had 'tithing to do; he had, however, in making opt the de livery ticket, added Bd. to the charge, and aproportioner :increase upon the amount for porter- e, and by these despositions together, the parcel cost Mr. Levien about ' double the regular charge and proper expense. Mr. Levier) ob d, that he had submitted to over chsicgesof this nature ie many iumeces, bat they were now grown into so regular a system, and become so asotroms, that 4e fib It his duty, for his own sake, as well as that of ,he public, to make an example. The porter, in hie defence, did not attempt to deny the charge, and oily pleaded in extenuation of his conduct, 'that it was 82tristmas time, and they g Ily expected to make a Mtle more then. Timm ihit seems, no Act of Parliament for regulating 'charges for carriage. Mr. Livien's remedy, therefore, for overcharge in thatpartleular, could only be by ac tion at law, or by indicting the fellow for obtaining mosey under false pretences, which, the Magistrate ob served, it would highly become a gentleman of his pro perty sad respectability to do.

John Tompkins deposed that on Thursday last, be tween three and four o'clock in the afternoon, it so hala -1 pencd that u he pseud by the shop of the said Peter Freemen, be stopped, for the spaced about two miontes. . looking it the piping bullfinches and other singing birds therein set oat, end having so dose be passed on— o aneouscious of having given prance to any living soul.

He then lifted the green silk shade which covered his left eye, pointed out the damages i it bad received—hlue, yellow, rod, and green ; dropped I the silk shade over it again, and salad—" that is my 'if I F , ~~ ~'; ~ti i .~ .

The Magistrate could not believe that Mr. Peter Free stone. who epemed to be a very harmless old gentleman, would be guilty of sods an attack without some provoca tion; and be asked Mr. John Tompkins whether he could account tee it. Mr. John Tompkins replied. that be had not the most remote idea—Mr. Peter Freestone seemed to bear him some &adept grudge ; bat why. or wherefore, he knew no more d than an unborn babe whet never saw the " Well let us Year what Mr. Peter Freestone has to say about it—perhaps his memory may be more Men tire," oh d the magistrate. Mr. Peter Freestone immediately stepped forward and sitdolded circumstances of very erins. con.-isb import. He averred that John Tonikins haul supplanted him in ' Mrs. Freestone's aff ctions. whilst he was collecting piping bull-tii.ches in Herman) , some tea or twelve months ago—nay, that he had even gone so far as to take it;s pillr at bed and hoard during his absence—and, not content with this, lie was continually pestering her with lave letters up to that very day.

MARLDOROUGH-STRIDT, SATUDDAT.—The sitting Mt istrate (J. them, Esq.) was occupied upwards of two hours in hearing petty assault cases, in which persons had engaged, on returning from Christmas pieties.— The worthy Magistrate not being disposed to hold them to bail, several were fined 51. for being intoxicated, sad others bad only to pay the customary fees. Some laughter was excited in the course of the day the Icing of two persons, in the shape of paying for tb.lrswn discharges, who bad been stopped by the watchmen while taking borne their sr et property. Ous of them,s rug-maker, was taking home a rollofsarpetimg from his employers at half-past ten o'clock, to fit some rugs to the pattern, when be was stopped by a watch. man, who detained him and the parcel on suspicion. 'Fite man's account being confirmed, and no imputa tion therefore applying to the case, he bad, in addition to the privilege of sleeping la the watch-house, to pay the fine of is. for his discharge before the Magistrate. Another man, a draper, was taking home a piece of iffieth to Ills own house, wh en he was stopped in a similar ostemer ; -he left the cloth until this morning, and gave Ns address. On inquiry the correctness of his 'menet was ascertained, and he was told all was right, and that leo was discharged on the payment of is. ' The draper, addressing the Magistrate, said— O property ?" The Magistrate replied, that the watchmen *OA' . strictly in the discharge of their duty in stopping per stelis carrying bundles of such a description at tam itrashle hours, and that be must pay the usual atiaftge of one shilling. The draper complained of the harshness of such a decision, and said that unless a man could be detained Mr stealing his own goods, be thought it rather singular that he should be mulcted for a discharge fee, for taking them home. He paid the fee and left the office.

The condition of the s ate man wu such, that It was impossible he weld nd the inhu manity of Bothell in leaving him exposed to the severe and most inclement weather, bad been the means of =tolerating his death. The law was, that where the death of one of his Majesty's subjects had been accelerated, through the Improper though not malicious, conduct of another, the offence was manslaughter ; and If with malice, It amounted t o murder.
