N t ti 1 . 1 I 1! 4 P i Ij C I TTIZ STATESNIAN. COMMON COUNCIL. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced yesterday, when &askew, fruiterer, Of Covent-garden market ? stale indicted for assaulting J. Davis, an elderly woman, in her own house, on the Ist of. February. The De fendant bad called at the house of the Plaintiff, on the day in question, for the purpose of seeing her husband, who happening to be from home, the Plain tiff sent out for some rum, with which she treated him. The effects of this beverage were so powerful, however, that he totally forgot the respect he owed to his hostess, avid, in attempting to take liberties which she di d not approve, the assault was corn. bitted. Mr. ALLEY, for the Defendant, acknowledged that he had been guilty of an act of impropriety, and that a verdict of guilty must be given against him ; he felt it his duty, however, to state, that the Defendant had acted under the influence of intoxice tion, and conscious of his error, called at the house next day, and apologised for his conduct. With this apology, both the Plaintiff and her husband were satisfied ; but the matter having been put into the hands of an Attorney, the Defendant was re ferred to him to settle the matter. The attorney, however, was desirous of making it a source of pro fit to himself, and demanded 14 guineas to quash the business. The Defendant refused to give more than seven ; and thus the matter was brought into a Court of Justice, not by the Plaintiff herself, but by the attorney. The Jury having returned a verdict of guilty, the Defendant was fined 51. and discharged. Mr. John Moberly and W Dean, the former a re spectable attorney, and the latter a entombi ti indicted for assaulting Elizabeth Tavleli, on t of May last. ' " I Mr. ALLEY, in opening the case, bore testimony to the general character of Mr. Maherly until the commission of the offence with which he now stood' charged, which he could not help pronouncing to be' of a most aggravated description. The Counsel then proceeded to. state, that the Prosecutrix (who was a young and interesting looking woman) was, on the day stated in the indictment, servant to Mrs. Conyer, who lived at N 0.4, Park-lane. About font o'clock, during the absence of her mistress, who had just gone- out to take an airing in her carriage, the two Defendants, in company with four other men, came to the house, and Mr. Maberly de manded that' certain pictures, which were in the room, should be delivered into his possession, for Mr. Conyer, the husband of the Lady in whose house the Plaintiff lived. Mr. Alley here stated, that a separation had taken place between Mr. and Mrs. Conyer, and that they kept separate esta blishments ; but Mr. Conyer having some fancy ! for the pictures alluded to, had sent his Atteruey to demand them in the manner he h'ad mentioned.— The Prosecutrix, having no knowledge of the De fendants, or of Mr. Conyer, said she did not feel 1 herself authorised to deliver any property under her care to any person, until the return of her mistress, whom she expected every moment; and to expedite' whose arrival, she sent another servant girl, who' was in the house. Mr. M. however, insisted upon taking the pictures, and was proceeding to enter the room in which they were, when the Prosecutrix shut the door, locked it, and kept the key in her hand. Mr. M. then sent for a carpenter, to force the door; but his patience being exhausted before his arrival, he said it would be easier and better to take the key from the woman, and immediately Dean seized her by the wrist, and Mr. M. wrenched the key from her hand, in doing which he severely injured her fingers, which bled profusely ; her arm and side were also much bruised. The pictures were then carried off, and the Prosecutrix was left to make the best of her tale to her mistress. Yesterday there was a tolerthly full attendance of the Members of the Court of Common Council, in: the Council Chaniber,• in Guildhall ; but though the Court continued to sit till near four o'clock, uo be- Siam of public interest was transacted. LORI) MAYOR ELECT. Shortly after the assembling of the Court, there was read a Letter from the Lord Mayor Elect (Alderman Scholey), stating to the Court, - that he had been given to understand, that he had been chosen to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ettsu log yenr, and, as such was the case, he should ex ert himself to falfil the duties of that arduous and honourable office to the utmost of his power, as he should he anxious to prove to his fellow:citizens, . how sensible he was of the honour that had been heaped upon him by the favourable opinion which had guided their electida of Chief Magistrate of the City of London , Mr. Dixos then rose and observed, that a state ment was about to he laid before the Court from their Chamberlain ; and as it materially interested them ' selves only, he thought it was very right that they • Mould have it to themselves wily, for on such an oc ea.inu they might do'very well without the presence of sfAsegers.—( Mar !)

A Petition was presented to the Court from an Inv:n('lse number of inhabitants in. and near Moor fields, 'reipeeting the• improvements projected, and now - actually going on at that place. The Petitioners, stated, that they had observed with , great concetn t , the erection of certaln`psderof "deMarkation foi..the regulation of the projected improvements; from -which it appeared, that there would be no grand learlieg road from the ICOrth side . of the fields. In consequence of this detect - in the arrangement, the ancient road would not only be blocked up, but the Qty and the Metropolis in general would be de prived of a road, which, from promoting a free cur rent of air would t4ootrlbute very materially to the health of the inhabitants of London ! - --[Some laughter.)—They hoped this defect would be re steeled. The Petition %%RS ordered to be laid before the Conitnittee for carrying on itnprovementa in the City. RECFIVPR OF BROKERS' RENTS. Mr. Deputy Otto moved, that a Requisition be presented to the Lord Mayor, to desire him to call an early Court, for the purpose of filling up the vccaney in the Office of Receiver of Brokers' Rents, iu the room of Mr. Aldridge, deceased. From this Gentleman's statement, and from the •bservations of other Members, it appeared, that the Committee of City Lands had filled up the vacancy, by electing a Mr. West : a Mr. Brown, previously elected, having been dismissed ; and that immediate ly after such election, a Member declared that the Committee had not the power to make such appoint ment, that it rested in the Court. It was declared that the Committee had before made similar appoint ments, by virtue of the power vested .in them by the Court. _ _ Mr. FAVELL would not deny that the power not only emanated from hut was actually in the Court, yet he could not but think that it would he a hard visitation to invalidate an election with which no fault had been found—which had nut concluded in favour of Mr. West by the exertion of any unfair means. In justice to all parties, he thought the elec tion of Mr. West ought to be confirmed, but he should wish that a like complaint might be prevented in future. Mr. F. by way of amendment, moved, that the Court confirm fee dismissal of Mr. Brown, and the appointment of Mr. West, in his stead, by the Committee of City Lands—but that any future appointment rest in the Court. Mr. Diatom was sornewhatsurprised at theamend ment, for it was saying to the Court, and that too by those who were always for supporting rights; pri vi!eges, and laws—" Oh ! the Court has the un &witted right of electing this officer—it ought to rest with them only—but let us be satisfied this time —let us continue Mr. West and you may elect in future !"—(.Sows laughter.) . . After a variety of obseivatiens from Mr. Davies, Mr. Bell, Mr. Quin, Mr. Dornford, and other Alembers, a division took place. The number" were For the Aniendsoiat Against it Majority io favour of Mr. Fartin Asiembieet The Court then adjourned. These facts were proved by the evidence of the Prosecutrix herself, and of Eleanor Tunstan who witnessed the transaction. Mr. REYNOLDS, for the Defendant, contended, that no assault had been committed; that Mr. M. was acting under the authority of Mr. Conyer, legally given ; and that the Prosecutria, in refusing to give up the property, was acting in an unjustifi able manner, inasmuch as all the property in the house was, in fact, the property of Mr. Conyer. Mr. ALLOY argued the contrary; and the Court holding a similar opinion, the Defendants were found Guilty. Mr. Justice MAlNivAnswn sentenced them to pay the moderate tine of 3s. 4d. each. The Court were not desirous of passing a very heavy judgment upon the Defendants, but simply of marking their sense of the impropriety of Mr. M.'s conduct, who seemed to have acted under mistake of the law, rather than from any intention to act improperly. A singular marriage took plass lately, near the Old Ilead, in Caithness, between a woman of 100 years of age and a man of 70, being her third bus baud.
