UVILDHALL.—Garratt, the porter at the White norm Inn, Fetter-late,appeared yesterday on summons before the Sitting Magistrate. Mr. Alderman Cox, to an swer the complaint o f Roach, Ft:faint's-ha, for an offence under the statute regulating the rates of por terage in the Metropolis and environs. The complainant stated that he was in the freqaeat habit of receiving game from the cosatry, anti although be resided so short a distance from the White Horse len. he had invariably been charged 4d. ler porterage, the sum allowed by the statute being only 34. Upon as occasion of an overcharge for the porterage for tome 'game from the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, be bad upon inquiry forted that the fault was with the potters, who had altered the ateoupt in the ticket delivered to him from the inn, and they were in consequence die; charged by the proprietors. Judging that the circuita -1 stances might be the same in the present case, he I had taken the trouble to inquire at the office of the inn in Fetter-lane, where he t o treated somewhat cavalierly, and told they were aware that the 44. f allowed by the statute was3d ,faut they always allowed 44.f0r the porterage of small parcels, and never delivered asy, even at the shortest distance from their 1 ne, for leas. He (Mr. Roach) thought it ass necessary the public should be made acquainted with the imposition that was practised upon them. The statute expressly stated the charge for porterage for parcels not exceeding the weight of 501 b. delivered within the distance of a quer ter of a mile front the inn, to be 3d., and as the prac tice of charging the extr,s peony was not only petsistrif in, but justified, be felt it his duty to lodge the present complaint. William Bayles, the book-keeper, acknowledged that they were in the habit of charging fourpence for the porterage of all small parcels, although they were aware that where the distance did not exceed a quarter ore mile, the charge by the Statute was three-pence, and he seemed inclined to justify the charge upon the ground of the uniform practice of doing so fur the last 20 years; but finding that ground untenable, he doubted whether the charge was out legal upon the question of distance, and expressed a wish to have it mensured. Mr. Roach was very ready to consent to that made of decision, hnt upon its being hinted to the clerk that a qnarter of a mile was 410 yards, and that the distance from the Inn to Mr. Roach's chambers could scarcely be 200 yards, he submitted, and was convicted in the pen alty of 20s. the Roach of which, due to him as the in. forwent, Mr.le ft to be disposed of at the disc's.
