The half-yearly meeting of the London and Brighton Railway Company took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. JOHN lIARMAN, Esq., in the Chair. There was a very large atteedanee of Directors and Proprietors. Tire SECRETARY having read the notice calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said, in the few remarks he should feel it his duty to make at that stage of the proceedings, he should entirely abstain from entering into any minute details which they would find contained in the re ports of the Directors and Engineers ; but he would take that opportunity of calling their particular attention to the state in which the undertaking was at present. The works had now assumed that character that there no longer remained any doubt as to their being able to be carried out, or as to the time when that might be done. It rested with the proprietors to give them " the sinews of war " to enable them to push on the works, and he thought when they had heard the report of their engineer read, they would see that it was their interest to do so. After the reports had been read he should be happy to answer any guess tions that might be fairly put to him. Ile thought it right to add that matters of very great interest and importance would be brought before them; but when he looked around bins and sow the large body of respectable proprietors by whom be was surrounded, he was quite sure that if any discussion arose, it would be conducted with temper and discretion, and that they would come to such results as would be benefisial to the Company.—( Hear, hear.) The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the Report of the Directors for the last half year. It stated that the Directors felt the greatest confidence from the report of the engineer, sad their own observation, that the line would be opened to the public from London to Kemp's Farm, a place within seventeen miles of Brighton, at the end of the autumn of the present year, The branch to Shoreham would have been completed before that time, but in consequence of the bad state of the weather the Directors had thought it advisable to defer the open ing of that branch for a short time. With respect to finaeces, the Report stated that there was a sum of 122,0001. in arrear of calls upon shares, but 110,000!. of that had been p sid, leaving a balance still in arrear of calls of 12.188!., of which they expected a large portion to be shortly paid. The details of receipts and expenditure were then read, showing a total expenditure of 323.8951., and a balance of cash in hands of 16,963/. Is. od. The Report concluded by stat ing that negotiations with respect to the terminus of the line at London Bridge with the London and Greenwich, and toe London and Croydon line, were at the present moment receiving the best attention of the Directors. The Secretary then read the Half-yearly Report of the Engineer of the Company, Mr. Rastrick, from which it appeared that the works, although the weather had been extremely unfavourable, were progressing most favourably, and that there was every probability of the line being opened, as far as Kemp's Farm, a distance of seventeen miles from Brighton, in October next; that 14 miles, 7 furlongs, and,l46 yards of permanent way had been laid down ; and that 4,370 men, 695 horses, and 5 locomotive engines were employed on the works. Mr. \VALEY said, after the Report that had been read, and which had gene so far into detail, there was very little for him to say on the occasion beyond recommending the adoption of it to the meeting. In the situation, however, which he held, he felt it necessary to offer a few observa tions arising out of the reports that had been read. The Report of the Directors commenced by stating that, con sidering the difficulties the concern had to encounter from the state of the money-market as well as of the weather, there was, however, another matter to which he should allude, and which the Report did not, and perhaps could not touch on, and which bad not, perhaps, fallen under the observation of the Directors—he aneant the great degree of odium and distrust—and he should almost say cf vitupe ration, by which the attempt bad been assailed by the pro jectors of rival lines. Few were aware of the attempts made in most influential-quarter s to oppose and depress their undertaking. It had been stated by certain parties that it was physically impossible that the works could ever be carried out or completed. The state of the Money Market, and of the weather. combined with these observa tions, had caused their property to undergo a depreciation, which, under ordinary circu mstances, and with fair and honest deali ng , i t ' would not have been subjected to. ._(flear, hear, hear.) If they looked to the report of the Directors, and that of their able engineer, he was sure they would find very little router indeed for regret, and a groat many sources of corresolation.—(Hear, hear. ) He would conclude by observing that the motion he was about to make would bring the reports home to their own firesides. They would be able to disgest their contents, and he was sure that the more they did so, the more sa tisfied would they be.—( Cheers. ) Mr. WALEY then moved that the reports read should be received entire into the mineles, printed, and that a copy of them be sent to each pro prietor. Mr. RESBoTTOM seconded the resolution. Mr. TROUP said he wished to put a question to the Chairman—he wished to know what were the sums paid for the land which bad been purchased, and how that money had been expended ? The CHAIRMAN said that ho was willing to give the meeting every information in his power respecting the matters alluded to by Mr. Troup . He believed that the land which they would find it no , cessary to purchase, had first been estimated at 220,0001. At a subsequent meeting he had said that he had reason to believe that it would amount to 240,000/. At their last meeting the amount was estimated at 340,000!. They' now knew the exact sum, aid instead of 340,0001. they 4tiund it would amount to 371,0001. He would explain t o them how this increase had taken place. During the progress of the works they found it desirable to make sot se alterations, which had cost 35,000/. ; they had, however, more land than they would want, as they found it bet ter in some cases to pur chase large tracts than mere slips. He thought that the land they !eft might sell for 75,0001. Mr. TRoup here asked the nam es of those gentlemen to whom extraordinary sums had been paid for their interest in their property. The CHAIRMAN put it to the meeting if that were a question which it would be advieable he should answer ? ( Loud cries of " No, no.") In answer to another question,. the CHAIRMAN said the liabilities of the Company amourrted to 67,0001. Mr. Taour—Why have the expenses amounted to the sum of 450,000/. ? The CHAIRMAN—I can only say because work to that amount has been done.—(A laugh.) Mr. RAsTRICK, the engineer, said that Mr. Troup had done everything in his power to depreciate the value of the property. Ile had gone to the office and obtained the names of all the shareholders, and sent round printed circulars soliciting them to appoint him Comptroller Gene ral of the Directors.—(Laughter.) He then came for ward to state that the works hstd been imprudently let, hut Mr. Troup did not come for ward when the contracts were advertised and proposed far, to tell that to the Di rectors and Shareholders. The CHAIRMAN would put it to the meeting whether it was worth their while to go on with such a discussion.— (Loud cries of " No, no.") Mr. TROUP said he would persevere in reading his state ment. The CHAIRMAN inquired if it. was the intention of Mr. Troup to conclude with any motion or anaeudment ? Mr. Tnour replied in the negative. A PROPRIRToR asked if the entire line would be com pleted for the estimated sum? The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative. Another PRoPRIEToR asked if all the land required for the line had been purchased? The CHAIRMAN—It has. A PROPRIETOR—I should like to be informed whether the Company expect soon to be put in possession of the Wigsell property. The CIIAIRMAN--W O are already in possession of it.— (Cheers.) A PROPRIETOR—When do you expect the line to be opened the whole way to Brighton ? The CHAIRMAN—In May 1841.—( Cheers.) But I must add that that depends entirely upon yourselves. In answer to a question relatives to the South Eastern Railway, the CHAIRMAN said he was happy to state that that Company were making considerable progress with their works, and they were under an engagement to the London and Brighton line to pay them a sum of 200,0001.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The engagement was mutually beneficial to both Companies. He would add that there was a perfectly good understanding between the two Companies, and he was happy to state that pub liely.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Teoue hopod he would now be allowed to read his statement. The CHAIRMAN woald be happy to answer any questions that might be put, but they must recollect that a vast deal of time had been frittered away without any ground for the statements that had been made.—( Cries of " Question.") Mr. WALEY was present at the last half-yearly meet ing, and he recollected that Mr. Troup had prevented the meeting going into the business of the day, and the in terests of the proprietors were actually positively no glected until the great body of those present were com pelled to leave. He feared that was the object now con templated by Mr. Troup—(Hear, hear)—and when they called to mind that they had not pounds, but actually mil lions at stake, the undivided attention and cautious vigi lance of the shareholders were required to it. He dis claimed any idea of coming forward as the friend of the Directors, but he called upon the shareholders, as one of themselves, to attend to their own immediate interests. The CHAIRMAN would suggest the adoption of the fol lowing course to the meeting :—Let the business of the meeting proceed, and then Mr. Troup might afterwards bring forward his motion. He was exceedingly desirous to save the time of the proprietors—as to himself, it was immaterial how long he was there. Mr. Taour felt bound to persevere in the course he was adopting. The CHAIRMAN thought that Mr. Troup would save a great deal of time if he would at once move a vote of want of confidence in the Directors.—(Cheere.) Mr. TROOP then, at the suggestion of several of the proprietors, gave his written statement to the Seer— London : printed for Thomas Tegg, 73, Cheapside.

SOLOMONS, Optician to the Royal Fa- mily, are the most powerful instruments for the relief of deafness. From theirminute construction and convenient form deafpersons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest facility.

This is the morel remark able andgratulatory to the Countess's f ee li ngs , considering the total failure in the above respects, and consequent mortifying disappoint ments attending the various other spectacles she hitherto attempted to wear; indeed, it is with the greatest pleasure the Countess tes tifies to Mr. E. Solomons' perfectly successful treatment of her sight, and submits her own peculiar case in confirmation of the strong and deserved recommendations his Spectacles have received, and of Mr. E. Solomons' high professional standing. COUNTESS CONSTANTIA CLIFFORD, To Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, 36, Old Bond-street. From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S. Mr. E.

Nothing but investi gation would satisfy him. Mr. RASTRICE trusted the meeting would irnpot n td tha paper. The CHAIRMAN wished to knew what Mr. Troup r u oved ? Mr. Tiny said the effect of his motion would I x that the report he printed and that the meeting adjourn.. A PROI-RIETOR thought that the meeting ought V pro coed to the other business of the day. The CHAIRMAN then pot the original mction, t h at the report be printed, and a copy sent to every Pro pi ietor, and also the amendment; and declaicd the form er to be carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. R. TODD, a resolution ; car ried, to the effect that every contract that had be et I en tered into by the Directors had been fairly and p, ro perly conducted, and had given the highest satis action to the proprietors, as well as the price which had been gi• cc a for the land. Mr. BLEADON was quite satisfied, that althouL Or the Directors had given a large price for soine of the :land, they would sell a great portion of it again to consid iet . able advantage. On the motion of Mr. M'LEAN, the Deputy-Chaiirt aan, 144 shares, on which only the first and second callst !nave been paid, were declared forfeited. On the motion of Mr. WINTER, the Directors who mist out by rotation were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN said, that negotiations were still pt.nd ing between the Company and the Greenwich Rstil way Company, relative to the terminus at London Briege. He had been summoned to attend before the House of Commons on Tuesday next, in order to state what at sea im modations were contemplated by the Company at tha t -ter minus. All he wanted was the authority of the meet ing to take such steps as might be advisable ; this he 'was happy to say would not render it necessary to call upon-the proprietors in a pecuniary point of view. Mr. GOLDSMID moved that the Directors have pow er to make such arrangements with the Croydon Railway (k m pany as would tend to the convenience of the public, and the benefit of the Company. A PROPRIETOR was in hopes that not many years would elapse before the Brighton Railway Company would have a terminus of its own. He thought for the people at; the West-end, London-bridge was not a very convenient ter minus.—( Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that the present arrangements would not interfere with their having a West end terminus pro viding a necessity arose for it. The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said they now came to money matters, and he must observe that it would be quite impossible to carry on the works without making another call. They were entitled to borrow money as soon as half their caoitsl was paid up, and as from the number of shares in arrear that had not yet taken place, he thought it would be necessary to call for a further instalment per share. A PROPRIETOR observed, that the more fair ar.d straight forward course would be to compel the parties that were in arrear to pay up the instalments which were still due. He though it exceedingly unfair that the parties who bad paid up all the demands hitherto made upon them should be required to pay any additional sum on their shares. The CHAIRMAN would be very happy if the meeting would authorise the Directors to adopt coercive measures. A PROPRIETOR moved the Directors be instructed to take coercive measures to compel parties in arrears to pay up their instalments.—( Hear, hear.) The motion, having been seconded, was carried unani mously. The resolution was then put, that the Directors be authorised to borrow and take up at interest a stun not ex coedit).- 600,0001. Mr. STOREY, of Brighton, begged leave to oppose the motion, on the ground of its being premature. There were a large body of Proprietors anxious to pay up their shares, and who did not wish to have recourse to the ad ditional er.pense of a loan. He had himself forty shares, and he was ready to pay any advance that might be deemed necessary. The CHAIRMAN observed that Mr. Story would incur no loss by the proposed loan. He might lay out the money he wished to advance in some way equally profi•- able, and at the same rate at which the loan would be raised. Mr. Storey thenlwithdrew his opposition to the motion. In answer to another question the CHAIRMAN said the shareholders were liable to calls to the amount of 251. each, there having being only 251. each paid, but gentle men might make themselves perfectly easy, as it was quite certain they would never be called upon to pay that sum. The CHAIRMAN said the next proposition was with re spect to the proposed line from Portsmouth to Horsham, which their line came within ten miles of, and the expenses which it would entail upon them would not exceed 1501. or 2001. to have the plans deposited. A PROPRIETOR said there was another line at present making from Portsmouth to Gosport, and he did not think they would be justified in going to any expense on the subject. ihe CnAI RMAN pointed out the advantages which would result to their line from the Portsmouth and Horsham line being taken up, and would leave it to the meeting to make what election they thought proper. Mr. STOREY said the line contemplated would bring a very increased traffic to their line, as it would enable parties to avoid a very considerable detour. They might receive some thousands per cent. profit on the contemplated outlay. A 'PROPRIETOR said ha was connected with the Brighton Direction, and firmly believing that the Horsham and Ports mouth Company was merely a Stock Exchange job, he should be sorry to think that the present Company mixed up their names with it in any way, The CHAIRMAN did not believe that there was any thing of Stock Exchange jobbing in the contemplated line. It was then resolved that the Company be authorized to co-operate with the Portsmouth and Horsham line, but that no expenses be incurred by them beyond the 1501. A vote of thanks was then carried by acelAmation to the Directors, and also a vote of thanks to the Engineer ; and after thanks had been briefly returned, the meeting sepa rated. MR. FROST.

That the Jury list contained the name of John Christo pher of Redwick, farmer, and your petitioner accordingly marked his name for challenge, in case of his being caked. That no person of the name of John Christopher was called. That a person was called by the name of Christopher John. That your petitioner had no instructions to challenge Christopher John, neither was your petitioner enabled to obtain any information respecting any person of that name. That the prisoner's right of challenge extends to thirty five only. That your petitioner, before ten of the Jury who tried Mr. Frost had been impannelled, had exhausted the pri soner's right of challenge. That your petitioner did not feel warranted in exercis ing the prisoner's right of challenge in respect of a person of whose character and opinions be bad obtained no in- • formation. That after the trial your petitioner discovered that the person who had answered to the name of Christopher John, who was sworn and took his place in the jury-box as Christopher John, was in fact John Christopher, the person whom your petitioner bad been specially instructed to challenge. That your petitioner contemplated urging these facts in arrest of judgment upon Mr. Frost, and for that purpose your petitioner obtained an affidavit to be made by the said John Christopher.-10f this memorial his petition given below is nearly a copy, and we do not therefore require to repeat it. he only difference is that the petitioner swore to the affidavit.] That your petitioner would have felt it to have been his imperative duty to have challenged the said John Christo pher, not only from the opinions which your petitioner bad ascertained to have been expressed by the said John Chris topher, but as well from his being an illiterate man. That by the Statute Law of the land it is the bounden duty of the law officers of the Crown in cases of prosecu- tion for high treason to give to the parties accused a List of the Jury, with their proper names and occupations, and places of abode. mee t tut exercisei einjury in t consequences t h o e t of f present y s s o e a u t t said a f e w jce i i t t r s r h th e yi t p ,m h a i e r ni a .r b s to ta h l John case, That hasF r t o h mbs e zee n ni u o ic ,er c sso o hs.d m ouy p ue i dui a vrp n e r c mo e ot Royal cle of that injury, Your petitioner further humbly prays to be allowed to call your Majesty's gracious attention to the events which have succeeded the trial and conviction of the said John Frost, and of two other unfortunate subjects of your Majesty. Your petitioner begs to state, that at the time of the trial of the said John Frost, Zephaniah Williams, and William Jones, a point of law was reserved for the opinion of your Majesty's Judges. That upon the reservation of such point, it was clearly and distinctly expressed that the prisoners then in course of trial, should have the same benefit and advantage of that point as they would have had in case the same had been decided by the Judges at Monmouth. That the point has now been decided by your Majesty's consideration of the before-mentioned facts ; and your petioner humbly and fervently implores your Majesty, by die interposition of your Ronal clemency, in the exercise of justice and mercy, to grant to the said John Frost, Zephaniah Williams, and William Jones, a free pardon, there ;y converting the rebellious spirit that Las lately broken forth in your Majesty's realms, into a siirit of devo tion and attachment for your Majesty's Royal personae, and institutions, and thereby also carrying home conviction to the breast of every disloyal and lawless agitator; that in conspiring against your Majesty's sacred person, or against the laws and institutions of your Majesty's realms, they are seeking to undermine and destroy that which, in the hour of extremity, is their best safeguard sand protection. And your petitioner will ever pray, &c. W. F. GEACti. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MA- The humb? c pet i t i on of John S Christopher, of Redwiek, in the county of Monmouth, farmer, Showeth —That your Petitioner wi..s summoned to servo as a .Jur man on the Petit Jury, empanelled at Monmouth, on the trial of Mr. John Frost and others for high treason and other offence f .

That your Petitioner was called upon to sit as Juryman on the trialof Mr. Frost, that he was called in the name of Christopher John, that he answered from time to time throughout the trial of Mr. Frost to the name of Chris topher John, and that he, with his fellow Juryman, returned a verdict of guilty against Mr. Frost. That your Petitioner is 41 years of age, and has resided ncarly all his lifetime in the parish of liedwiek, his pre sent place of abode, and that the parish extes,ds from ncrth to south, as your Petitioner believes, about three miles, and from cast to west about three miles. i That your Petitioner is certain that persons inquiring for Christopher John in his your Petitioner's parish would not, except by mere chance, be directed to your Petitioner. That your Petitioner feels in conscience bound to con fess that your Petitioner has felt and expressed a strong prejudice against the persons called Chartists, of whom the said Mr. Frost was one ; and that your Petitioner is certain that had any inquiries on that subject been mad* in the parish in which your Petitioner lives, and had such in quiries been set on foot as to your Petitioner in his proper and only name, that is to say, of John Christopher, the persons inquiring must have ascertained the opinions ex pressed by your Petitioner with regard to Chartists. That your Petitioner feels that he has unintentionally and innocently wronged Mr. Frost, i n h av i ng answere d to the name of Christopher John, and having entered the Jury-box, and taken a part in the trial of Mr. Frost by a false name. Your Petitioner therefore humbly and fervently prays tbat your Majesty will be graciously pleased not to allow the verdict against Mr. Frost to be carried into execution, so far as regards the part that your Petitioner has taken in the matter.

RESPITE OF FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.-The Attor ney and Solicitor-General, and some of the Judges, had, an interview with Lord Normanby at the Home-Office last evening; after which a respite (we understand) was sent, (by post) to Monmouth for Frost, Williams, and Jones. It is expected that their fate will be finally settled at the Ca-. binet Council sitting to-day. In the course of this morning an immense number of petitions, praying her Mrjesty to spare the lives of the prisoners, were received at the Home- Office from all parts of the country.— Correspondent of the Standard. NE WPORT RIOTS. NEwroal, MoN.Ax.—The following letter, addressed by Lord Normanby :e the Rev.

" Sir,—A s th e t r i a l s o f the prisoners l charged 21 with 84 high treason in the county of Monmouth are brought to a close, I have great pleasure in taking this opportunity' of expressing to the Magistrates who conducted the preliminary investi- Fation the high sense 1 entertain of their valuable services. Their zealous exertions to insure the apprehension of offen ders, and their ability and discietion in conducting the long and laborious examination which ensued, contributed much to facilitate the administration of justice under the special commission issued by her Majesty, and are entitled to my warmest approbation. I request you to communicate this letter to the gentlemen who were associated with you on the bench at Newport. • " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " NOR,MANIT. " To the Rev. James Coles, Newport, Monmouthshire." Fuitzima EXAMINATION OF CHARTISTS. Two persons, who had been absent ever since the 4111 •f November, and who, from the lenity shown at Monmouth, had felt a degree of security and returned to the neighbourhood, were apprehended on Friday and Saturday last, and this morn ing were brought before the Magistates, and bound over to appear at the sessions. THE WITNESSES ON THE LATE Tar/us. James Hodges, one of the chief witnesses against the pri soners condemned at Monmouth (accompanied by two or three others), came to r •Neli port on Saturday last, stating that they were afraid to remain in the neighbourhood in which they had formerly lived, and begged the assistance of the Magistrates. Hodges stated that he left Mcntnouth and returned to his home at Blackwood on Sunday week, in tending to go again to his work ; that not a man woul.l speak to him, but every one scowled at him, and, speaking to others, observed that every witness ought to be shot, and hia property destroyed. On the Tuesday night a letter was put under his door covered with blood, and threatening his life. He added that on Tuc:iday night stones were thrown at his door and windows. The Magistrates assured him he should have every protection. Israel Firman, mother witness, aged 91, then came forward, and stated that he durst not return to the hills ; that as he walked in Newport persons said, " D—n him, there goes the old devil ; he ought to be shot." His wife had friends in Lon don, and he was anxious to go there. The Magistrates, feeling for the situation in which this unfor tunate man of 91 years of age was placed, gave directions for places to be taken for him self, his wife, an family in a ship bound for London. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A WONDERFUL CAT.—Yesterday, James Saul, the keeper of a Tom and Jerry shop, it:Comp:on-street, St. Giles's, was summoned before Mr. Twyford, to show cause why be unlawfully detained a certain cat, the pro perty of William Kent. The complainant, a respectable-looking elderly man, stated that lie lived in 13trwiek-street, Soho. The cat in question was a very valuable animal, and n great curi csity in this country. It was brought from Norway, with another cat of the same description, but the latter died on the voyage, and that circumstance rendared the sur vivor of still greater value, being, he believed, the only animal of that same species in England at present. Mr. TWYFORD—Then this wonderful cat is a Norwe gian by birth—pray is it a Tom or a female? Complainant—lt's a Tom, your Worship, and as fine a fellow as ever moused in a cellar.—(Luughter.) I re fused four guineas for him, and would not part with him fur twice the sum. Mr. TWYFORD—I suppose he was taken in a wild state ? I --- Complainant —He was, your worship; but he was tamed by the gentleman who brought him over. He then proceeded to describe the cat, which he said was covered with long brown hair, with a black face, and a tail like a fox. He lost the animal about seven weeks ago, and found him in the possession of the defendant, chained up in his sbop, where be was kept as a show. The defendant declared that he purchased the cat for 4s. 6d. at a public-house in the Borough, as several per sons could prove who were present at the time. He did not attach any particular value to the animal, and was willing to restore him to the owner on payment of a sove reign for his board and lodging,—(Laughtvr. ) Mr. TWYPORD—Why do you not produce the cat, as you admit the possession ? Defendant—Bless your soul, Sir, I tried to catch him, but the brute knew when he was well off, and would'nt give me the chance. Mr. TWYFORD advised the, complainant to pay the de fendant 10s. for the keep of the cat, and, upon these terms, the animal would, no doubt, be delivered up to him. The defendant acceded to the proposal, and said be would restore the cat in three or four days: and upon this understanding he was allowed to depart. A respectable-looking woman then came forward, and said she was the complainant's housekeeper. She im plored the Magistrate, with tears in her eyes, to order the immediate restitution of the cat on payment of the 10s., as she was quite sure the poor dear animal would be poisoned, or come to some untimely cud, if suffered to re main in the defendant's possession. Mr. TWYIORD explains) that he had no power under the Act of Parliament to order the cat to be given up, in asmuch as an animal of that description could not be made the subject of a felony, however valuable it might be in the estimation of the owner. The Act gave a Magistrate power to order the restoration of any beast or bird kept in a state of confinement, but this description could not be said to apply to cats, which, although domesticated, were notorious for rambling about on their amatory excursions. The applicant assured the Magistrate that the cat in question was an exceedingly well behaved creature, and by no means given to vice of any description. She again implored the Magistrate to order the animal to be restored to his disconsolate owners. Mr. TWTFORD seeing the distressed state of the lady, directed a constable to go with her to the house of the de fendant, in order if possible to obtain the restoration of the interesting foreigner. FALL OF A HOUSE.—On Tuesday the fall •f the house of Mr. Turner, retail brewer and beerhouse-keeper, in King-street, New North-road, Islin; in, caused much alarm fcr ich This [he
