have suffered greatly if he had not been promptly mesa by
the patine. It appeared from the account of the polies that
on the way to the station-house Hall violently assaulted one,
of his own party, mistaking him for Mr. °bay. The prisoner
in his defence, stated, that on his return to the Satirist
office with the half-andlialf, as soon as he had put his
head inside the door, the door wee jammed to upon it, and
some potion or persons unknown, who were inside, eon-
' minced beating it with sticks. In proof of this he called his
friend, whom he had assaulted in mistake, and who had
' seen his head being treated in the way he had deserßed.
The state of his friend's face also bore ample testimony to
his own misplaced vigour.—Mr. Jardine did not resider
the injuries he might have sustained in the fight any ex-
cuss for the assault in the station-hour, end senteard him
to five days' imprisonment The second ease, involving'
Mr. Gialey's two friends, was dismissed, as Mr. Timms,
who prosecuted them, failed in showing any grounds for
their detention.

inhabitants. The house was rented by an Italian, =ma
Louis Rabiotti, the master of poor ItKian hays, who prowl
about with organs, &a, 70 or 80 of whom were hoarded
together, living upon the worst of food, and in • most horri-
ble state of filth. Mr. White and Mr. Harebell, surgeons to
the parish, visited the place with the commissioners, and de-
posed that the drains were in a filthy state, with pools of
stagnant water and soil, and the stench was so bad that It
was calculated to cause malignant fever and disease ; they
had been obliged to remove a party to the hospital affected
with fever, and the public health was in danger whilst the
nuisance existed.—The solicitor for the perish said that the
parish instituted these proceedings to seat the government
in their humane efforts to protect the health of the public
and the poor.—Mr. Tyrwhitt considered that it was moat de-
sirable to do so, and he suspended making his order for one
week, in order that the nuisance might be abated.—Several
other prosecutions of a similar nature against the owners of
houses in the same street were brought forward, and the
same decision given.

being discovered. It was the duty of the
to receive the subscriptions from the members,

resitue, if any, was handed over to the trotter, and by
Ors securely deposited in • box, to which the prisoner had
Ohm. In consequence of some suspicion the stewards
mild the prisoner for the residue, when he replied that
one of the treasurers, had it. On that person

a sibteke, and had paid it to Mr. Jones, another of
the tosationre, who also positively denied receiving any

no risilles, the members with much reluctance, felt bound
to proomato in the precept eau. He (Mr. Gordon) was
quite aware that, as the society wee not enrolled, there
would be • legal difficulty in bringing • case home to the
